The Ghost and the Graveyard

BLURB:
Left
destitute by an unscrupulous ex-boyfriend, Grateful Knight takes her father up
on his offer to live rent-free in a house he hasn't been able to sell.
Desperate to make a new start, Grateful tries to overlook the property’s less
desirable features, like the graveyard that stretches to her back door. On the
bright side, the unbelievably gorgeous cemetery caretaker, Rick, is dead set on
helping her feel at home. She vows to take things slow, considering her recent
disastrous relationship, but is baffled when she literally can’t keep her hands
off of him.
When
things in Grateful’s house start moving on their own, another man enters her
life—a sexy ghost with a dark secret. Magical forces are at work in the tiny
town of Red Grove and they're converging on Grateful. Solving this ghostly
mystery won’t be easy and with the caretaker becoming increasingly jealous of
her spectral relationship, Grateful will be forced to choose between the ghost
and the graveyard.
EXCERPT:
Logan frowned
and folded his hands across the table, an all-too-human movement that made it
hard to remember he wasn’t alive. "You can’t blame yourself for loving
someone, Grateful. I may not know who I was in life, but I do remember that
there are some things that just happen to you. That’s why they call it falling
in love. You fall. It’s an uncontrollable act of gravity that has nothing to do
with choice and everything to do with fate."
"You’re
pretty smart for someone without a brain."
"Ha, ha.
I have a brain. It’s just decomposing wherever my body happens to be."
I giggled,
but the thought made me gag a little. "But see, I caused him to steal my
money. It was the blonde paradox."
"What
the hell is the blonde paradox?"
"I’m
blonde, right? And sort of look like Barbie. Well, that attracts men because
their caveman brain thinks I'm more fertile. But then they assume I’m stupid due
to societal stereotypes about blondes and ironically become less intelligent in
my presence. It’s like my looks are toxic to a healthy relationship."
"Let me
get this straight. You think that because of the way you look, men are drawn to
you primarily for sex and then treat you like crap due to the same good
looks."
"It’s
science."
"I think
it’s bullshit."
"Really."
The level of
concentration necessary for whatever he was thinking about must have been
steep, because he flickered at the edges.
