The Liberation of Mr. Delaney

When a heartbroken bookstore manager meets a charming ghost, sparks fly and the elimination of a decades old curse becomes crucial to their futures. Zoe Miller is intent on securing her future with the purchase of Merlin's Favorite Bookstore while she continues to remodel the Houston, Texas "haunted house" she inherited from her grandmother. Both are her focus as she's on a break from men after the unexpected breakup of a long-term relationship. And, the hunky ghost in her attic does keep her entertained at night. Ansel Delaney has resided in the attic of Zoe's house for over seventy years--it's the site of his unsolved murder. A curse forces him to stay put rather than pass on to the hereafter. He's watched Zoe visiting her grandmother since she was a little girl and admires the woman she's grown into. If only he weren't dead, but his magical ghost powers do have their limits. Zoe and Ansel join forces to discover the identity of his murderer and to resolve the curse, based on Irish wishing stones, that holds him to her house. This paranormal romance mystery tells the story of two beings who celebrate the bonds of family, the satisfaction of hard work, and the birth of the impossible--and, neither expected to fall in love along the way. After all, how can a human and a ghost have a future together?
