To Have & to Haunt

An accidental ghostly possession at Midnight Manor unleashes chaos just as the haunted B&B is set to host its first wedding, and the owner must reverse the magical mishap before his crush’s body becomes “something borrowed” forever, in this wonderfully witchy queer romance by Isabel Sterling.

Alexander Owens has a great life. He runs a successful B&B with his two best friends, and his five ghostly roommates have come to feel like family. While he isn’t usually the logistics guy, with his friends traveling for work, Alex is poised to take on Midnight Manor’s biggest challenge yet: hosting a last-minute wedding.

Alex is confident he’s up to the task, so long as he doesn’t get distracted by his own failed engagement. Or end up flustered by Sebastian Fairfax, the unspeakably hot assistant to the B&B’s biggest investor. Despite working together dozens of times, Alex’s usual charm simply cannot penetrate the witch’s prickly personality.

But when a disrupted spell evicts Sebastian from his body, leaving him stuck in spirit form, Alex must reverse the accidental possession—a violation of their strict magical permits—before the upcoming wedding, or risk losing Midnight Manor forever.

And because that’s not complicated enough, Alex finds himself falling for Sebastian. A man with more layers than he ever expected.

A man he physically cannot touch.
