The Fine Print of Ghosts

A charming, warm and witty romantic fantasy with gentle humour and ghostly heart — perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, Olivia Atwater and The Princess Bride . Sophie Hurdwood has made a respectable living as a fortune-teller. Her predictions are accurate, her customers loyal, and her conscience… mostly clear. The secret to her success? Rory, the ghost of the man she accidentally killed five years ago. Luckily, he doesn’t seem to mind. In exchange for the occasional vivid description of cake, Rory supplies Sophie with gossip gathered while drifting unseen through town. Their arrangement has three simple rules: keep the predictions small, don’t ask about Rory’s past, and never let anyone discover what Sophie did. It works beautifully — until the Crown Prince asks Sophie to prevent his assassination. Suddenly, Sophie is tangled in royal intrigue, haunted secrets, and a mystery that may be far closer to home than she’d like. Especially when it draws the attention of the sharp-eyed, maddeningly attractive Royal Captain determined to uncover the truth about the murder, the ghost, and Sophie herself. Because every ghost story comes with fine print. And unfinished business always demands payment. Warm, witty, and irresistibly romantic, The Fine Print of Ghosts blends charming romantasy of found family, slow-burn yearning, and a royal mystery with real heart.
