Synopsis:
“What's a sweet American girl like Caitlin
doing in England, working in a castle…bookstore, communicating with a grumpy
ghost like me?” In 1806, Adrian Knighton found himself unwillingly
transformed into a ghost by an angry ex-lover, who also happened to be a
very powerful witch. He's been trapped in Holworth Castle for the past two
centuries, observing with horror the evolving fashions, hair styles, and
conduct of modern men and women. Then Caitlin walked into the bookshop, and
Adrian's world changed.
Caitlin, too, feels an intense connection, and she and Adrian quickly become
willing to risk anything to bring their worlds together. Caitlin and Adrian
travel through time, battle a dark and dangerous foe, and find themselves
well and truly enchanted by each other. |

Excerpt:
Adrian Knighton, Earl of Holworth, hated the
twenty first century.
Adding to his ire, as a ghost trapped within his own castle, he had
limited options regarding his current domain. He glared at the latest
inhabitant who’d entered the Holworth Castle…well…Bookshop.
Adrian snorted. A bookshop b’God. That the venerable
Holworth Castle, which had protected the Dorset countryside for centuries,
was now a receptacle for lurid novels and dusty tomes vexed him to no end.
Peasants of any kind could simply wander in whenever they wanted, which they
did with alarming frequency.
Take this latest peasant, for instance. Back in his day, Adrian
thought indignantly, a man dressed in such dishabille would have been
expelled from the Holworth keep on his arse. A torn shirt, filthy shoes, and
his hair…Adrian had once seen a book on mammals in North America, and for
the life of him, he couldn’t understand why an Englishman would want his
hair to stick up like a porcupine.
It was simply unbearable and entirely unacceptable…except for her.
