âThis is a story of faith: in human nature, in love, in romance, in connections that cannot be broken . . . [an] original and funny romantic thriller.â âNew York Journal of Books
Andie Miller wants to marry her fiancÊ and leave behind everything in her past, especially her ex-husband, North Archer, but he asks one final favor of her before they go their separate ways forever. A very distant cousin of his has died and left North as the guardian of two orphans who have driven out three nannies already, and things are getting worse. He needs a very special person to take care of the situation and he knows Andie can handle anything.
Carter and Alice, arenât your average delinquents, and the creepy old house where they live is being run by the worst housekeeper since Mrs. Danvers. Whatâs worse, Andieâs fiancÊ thinks this is all a plan by North to get Andie back, and he may be right. Andieâs dreams have been haunted by North since she arrived at the old house. And thatâs not the only haunting.
What follows is a hilarious adventure in exorcism, including a self-doubting parapsychologist, an annoyed medium, her Tarot-card reading mother, an avenging ex-mother-in-law, and, of course, her jealous fiancÊ. And just when she thinks things couldnât get more complicated, North shows up on the doorstep making her wonder if maybe this time things could be different between them.
If Andie can just get rid of all the guests and ghosts, sheâs pretty sure she can save the kids, and herself, from the past. But fate might just have another thing in mind . . .
