About this ebook

Can a ghost help a marquess to save his father and captivate a countess?

 A spinster countess with a penniless estate, Lady Isobel Malcolm Ross faints when startled, allowing spirits to enter her head. Undeterred by her impairment, Bell learns of a position in a quiet ducal household where she might earn her way.

Jasper Winchester, Marquess of Rainford, comes from a long line of healers, but he’s unable to cure his own father. The duke's dying request is that Rainford marry to protect the family fortune. The marquess has dutifully acquired a suitable candidate, but Bell's arrival unleashes the ghost of Rain's grandmother, who frightens his fiancée into fleeing.

Much as Rain would like to toss the haunted countess into the snow, only Bell can calm the furious ghost, hush his heir’s opera singers, and manage his unruly sisters. Soon, his family insists that Rain marry Bell before all their fortunes are lost. Except Bell wants no part of this tumultuous household, where slamming doors startle her into falling down staircases. But how can she abandon the eccentric family—and distraught marquess—who accepts her foibles?

The ghost’s demands for Bell to help Rain save the duke result in mayhem and catastrophe. Now the two must find a way to heal each other—before the duke is gone, the family's future is lost, and any hope of love vanishes.

Seems those aunts at the Edinburgh School are at it again, a bit of matchmaking by sending Bell to take a position that is not open. Not yet anyway. Bell finds her gift a burden, yet it comes to be a blessing in the chaotic castle. She's the quiet in the storm. She is eager to somehow help Rain enhance his healing gift, yet is unsure how. As the attraction between Rain and Bell grows, perhaps her sister's marital experience serves to guide Bell. There is a lot going on in the story, with not a dull moment. Family dynamics, a ghost slamming doors and swinging chandeliers, impertinent house party guests and a murder attempt. It all comes to a very satisfying and romantic end. I read an advance copy and voluntarily post my review.
