Publisher Description
Eliot Parker's good-for-nothing deceased husband has left her a new lease on life: a house in sleepy Nodaway Falls, New York. But his offer comes with a cost: his ghost...
As if being married to him wasn't hard enough! Nodaway Falls turns out to be a town with more than a little magic in the air. Eliot swore off using her own powers sixteen years ago, thanks to one catastrophic day when she lost the only people who ever mattered to her, and ran away from her spellbinding father and his reckless enchantments. Now, when a chance encounter with quiet, handsome Desmond Lamb results in a magical explosion that rocks Eliot to the core, she can't help but wonder: Has her heart fallen under some sort of spell? Or is this what true love really feels like? The real question, of course, is whether her husband will stop haunting her...and let Desmond give her a chance at happily ever after?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Chick lit meets magic in March's satisfying third trip (after That Touch of Magic) to rural Nodaway Falls, N.Y., a small town filled with oddball characters, down-home hospitality, and paranormal power. Eliot Parker's debt-riddled con artist husband and his mistress du jour took a fatal drive into the icy waters of the Taunton River, leaving Eliot to inherit a rundown pickup truck, an indifferent bull mastiff named Seamus, and a house in Nodaway Falls, a town she's never even heard of. But after arriving at the drowsy little hamlet, Eliot, a powerful "magical" herself, senses that something supernatural is afoot and it could lead to a deadly confrontation with a dangerous figure from her past. March expertly juggles the escalating magical conflict and Eliot's developing romance with the mysterious Desmond Lamb, and her emotionally scarred heroine's tentative steps toward forming real friendships with her new neighbors are genuine and sweet. While readers never quite get a clear sense of the magic and how it works, the characters' relatability and resilience of spirit will resonate.
