Dead.
Not only is she dead, she’s a ghost. Like, bonafide see-through, floating, boo screeching ghost.
It’s hard to be optimistic when your life tragically ends the moment you begin to live your dream. But Ralph tries anyway, even as she finds herself stuck in Nina’s big castle—on Long Island, no less.
Ralph doesn’t know how she ended up where she landed, but after a week of floating silently unseen through room after room, watching these kooky but loveable women live their lives, she doesn’t understand why her destiny isn’t even close to what she’s read in books and seen in movies.
Maybe there really isn’t an upstairs after all?
Enter Shamus Ransom, the biggest (hottest) silver-fox elf (whaaat?) she’s ever seen with the ability to see and communicate with ghosts. He’s been hired by Nina to eliminate the funny smell the vampire's positive is a ghost haunting her castle.
What he finds is a beautiful, completely stuck ghost with a heart of gold and an optimistic outlook he’s never seen in an entity.
Shamus’s job already isn’t an easy one, but as he tries to find out why Ralph is stuck and categorize what type of ghost she is, he also finds himself falling in deep like with her. Getting involved is absolutely out of the question. Theirs would be far more than a long distance romance. To even consider it was ludicrous, right?
But as Shamus and the women of OOPS try and figure out what happened to Ralph on the night she was killed and why she’s cemented on this plane, there are dangerous entities gunning for Ralph and they won’t stop until she’s locked away in Hell—forever...
Unalived recently? Lose your head? Need someone to help you get to the other side—with your head?
Then I’m your girl—Evanora Dark at your service!
During a design competition for charity Tambi Schubert, local Buttermilk Bay's star stager and designer has a little accident.
Okay, it’s a not so little (read big—my word, so big).
I find her, relieved of her head via a power tool, in the house I’m designing for the competition, bringing a screeching halt to the contest and an investigation that leaves me as a suspect.
Yet, as I take a deep dive into Tambi’s past, I find almost everyone’s a suspect. Her past doesn’t only reveal her dismissive treatment of others, and some dark secrets, but a lonely woman who’s afraid of what waits for her on the other side.
But the only way to find out, and to clear my name, is to find Tambi’s killer before I end up losing my head—no pun intended!
When Frankie Bennett finds out her husband, famous chef and star of Mitch in the Kitchen is cheating on her, she loses her mind.
During a broadcast of the show—on live TV…
Now she’s divorced, broke and living in her aunt’s retirement village with very little will left to do anything but hide under the covers in her aunt’s guest bedroom with her dog Kiki.
That is until Maxine Henderson-Barker, one-time ex-trophy wife and now the owner of Trophy Jobs Inc, forces Frankie to get up and face life again—as a single, empowered, and most importantly, employed woman.
Frankie gets a job as a prep chef at a Greek diner, the home of the world’s best meatloaf, where she meets smoke-show and the diner’s owner, Nikos Antonakas.
Nikos and Frankie are instantly attracted to one another, but as the sparks of chemistry fly, Frankie discovers she isn’t the only one with hurdles to overcome. So the question becomes, can these two move past their broken pasts and cook up a lifetime of love?
