Publisher Description
A broken engagement sends Graciela Harper crawling back to Heron Creek with her tail between her legs, but finds the sleepy little town too changed to set her life right. Not even her budding drinking problem can obscure her Gramps’s failing health, or erase the mental picture of her first love happily married to her childhood best friend. To top it all off, she’s having a heck of time convincing the town’s dashing young mayor of her unfit-for-dating status.
When the ghost of 18th century lady pirate Anne Bonny starts insisting on a near daily audience, Graciela has to confront something else she never expected—being certifiably nuts at twenty-five years old.
Her brand new "I don't give a crap" attitude makes it easy to dismiss the mysterious threats that seem to be tied to her search for more information on the long dead pirate, but when her family becomes a target, Gracie knows she needs to find out why the ghost insists on being a constant, reeking companion.
If Graciela can put aside her prejudice against people without a pulse, she may discover that Anne Bonny’s problems are intricately linked with her own. The past harbors answers could help the cantankerous spirit find closure, but she is, after all, already dead. If Graciela doesn’t move fast, she might find herself doing the haunting, instead of the other way around.

Great Mystery
Very well written - you get a good sense of the setting and characters. Mystery kept me going to the end, and curious as to what happens next.
Fantastic !
With a great plot, real characters and an easy and beautiful writing style , this book certainly kept me captivated till the very last page .
Fun and fast
Great pacing, humorous, especially in regards to her little drinking problem, sexy and quick witted, but with also a well written emotional hook. lots of little nooks and crannies for the plot to be developed from and twists to jump out. All round great sunday read :)
