وصف الناشر
When a lady has failed to find love in the usual ways, she will turn to the paranormal…
American Miss Arabella Tamsyn Goodridge has never belonged anywhere, but when one of her British cousins wishes for her to be a part of her upcoming nuptial ceremony ahead of the All Hallow's celebrations, she jumps at the chance, especially when they're staying in haunted Coventry Castle, set close to the Scottish Highlands. She has always believed in ghosts and ghouls, yet she's dismally practical, except when it comes to falling in love with the resident spirit… apparently.
Percival Allan Bradenton—Marquess of Coventry—and half Scottish on his father's side, has been missing and presumed dead for two years. Without a body, his uncle can't legally claim the title, but Allan refuses to come out of hiding until he can figure out who wishes to kill him. To stave off boredom as well as look for clues, he haunts his family's castle in the countryside in the Highlands, until one night when he stumbles into a woman who turns his head and changes his life… exceptionally.
With her knowledge of herbal remedies and ease in bonding with animals, Bella is often slandered as a witch, but when she comes upon a man who should be dead and desire flares, she partners with him in solving a mystery. With a plot afoot to keep Allan from his birthright, danger bedevils them. As Halloween and the wedding quickly approaches, she and Allan strive to keep him alive, and unless they're fortunate in flushing out the guilty party in theatrical fashion, they'll never have a chance for a romance they never knew they needed… eternally.
… for there is no use for a societal reputation when a delicious ghost is involved.

danger, near misses, romantic walks and steamy encounters
Loved it! Arabella was back in England for her best friend Rachel’s wedding. Daughter of the American Ambassador to England, she had been sent to the same finishing school as Rachel, where they bonded. The wedding was taking place in Scotland at Coventry Castle, the home of the missing Marquess of Conventry, who had previously promised his best friend, Rachel’s fiance David the Viscount Preston, that he could wed there. Unbeknownst to everyone but David, Percival, the Marquess of Coventry, had been hiding in a secret room within the castle for the past two years. It was his belief that his uncle was trying to kill him in order to inherit the title, lands and wealth. Percival just needed proof, as his uncle was well connected. When Arabella inadvertantly stumbled upon Percival’s hiding place, it changed both of their lives forever. What follows is an exciting story filled with danger, near misses, romantic walks in the countryside and steamy encounters. The characters range from evil to innocent, including a fiesty American and a sigh-worthy Marquess. David is a stand-up guy and his friendship and loyalty to Percival saves the day. There is a tower top fight scene that will excelerate your heartbeat and have you reminding yourself that you were promised a happy ending. This is a story full of wonderful descriptions and witty conversations yhat will keep you glued to the page from beginning to end!.
