The first in a delightfully warm, cosy and romantic new series with a fantasy twist, for fans of the BBC series Ghosts. Can Callie give some needy ghosts their happy-ever-afterlife, while making Rowan Vale her own forever home? When single mum Callie visits Rowan Vale with her daughter, she is enchanted. The beautiful Cotswold village is run as a living museum, allowing tourists to see history in action. But there's more to the place than meets the eye... To the residents' surprise, Callie is observed talking to several villagers she simply shouldn't be able to see - as they're ghosts. The elderly owner of the village, Sir Lawrence Davenport, then makes an astonishing offer: to sell Callie the whole estate for a tiny sum, if she agrees to protect the village's present tenants and its headstrong spirits. With a spectral lord of the manor and his imperious wife, a naughty 1940s schoolgirl and William Shakespeare's former tutor among them, it seems Callie's role as owner wouldn't be easy. And that's without the added complication of Sir Lawrence's disinherited grandson, the gorgeous Brodie. Rowan Vale and Callie may need each other. But is this a match made in heaven or hell? Fans of the BBC's Ghosts, or books by Lucy Jane Wood, Laurie Gilmore and Heidi Swain will love this heart-warming and magical novel. Praise for Sharon Booth: 'An absolute delight!' 5-Star Reader Review 'I loved this book it was fabulous! Could not put it down' 5-Star Reader Review 'A wonderful feel-good story. There was mystery, romance and a sense of wellbeing within the small community' 5-Star Reader Review
