Haunted Ever After Authored By Jen DeLuca

In A Spirited Affair by USA Today bestselling author Jen DeLuca, the charming seaside town of Boneyard Key, Florida, leans into its ghostly reputation to attract tourists. Nick Royer, the owner of the Hallowed Grounds coffee shop, fully embraces this local culture. Not only does he profit from the ghost tourism that keeps his town’s economy afloat, but he also enjoys the company of his spectral roommate. This setup seems perfect for Nick until Cassie Rutherford moves to town.

Cassie, disillusioned by her friends’ steady march into marriage and parenthood, impulsively leaves Orlando and buys a refurbished historic cottage in Boneyard Key. Although she quickly discovers that her new home has some unusual quirks—like her laptop refusing to charge and the poetry magnets on her fridge rearranging to spell “WRONG” and “MY HOUSE”—Cassie is charmed by the town’s history and haunted allure. Even more intriguing is the gruff but handsome coffee shop owner, Nick, who slips her free banana bread and offers to show her around.

As Nick takes Cassie on personalized ghost tours, revealing local stories that are usually kept from tourists, they form a strong bond. They spend their evenings exploring the mysteries of Cassie’s haunted cottage and uncovering the secrets of its past owners. However, Cassie’s growing attachment to the haunted home leaves her feeling apprehensive, and Nick is hesitant to pursue a deeper relationship, fearing that the hauntings might scare Cassie away permanently. With a mix of spooky elements and sweet romance, A Spirited Affair promises a spirited and sexy tale of love at first haunting. 📚❤️
