A Story by Ginny B Moore
He doesn't believe in spirits. She doesn't believe in love. The ghosts are about to prove both of them wrong.
Phineas Cavendish, Earl of Valebrook, refuses to be fooled by another charlatan. Four years a widower with no patience for grief or grifters, he arrives at the haunted Ashveil Manor with one goal—expose the famous medium within as a fraud.
Bridget Murphy doesn't have her grandmother's otherworldly gift. What she has is a quick wit and an elaborate system of tricks—none of which she’s proud of, but all of which have kept the family business running while her celebrity grandmother tours the country.
Then a storm washes out the road, trapping her in the house with the most infuriatingly handsome skeptic she’s ever met.
Bridget is prepared to keep up the ruse, but when the candles begin to extinguish themselves and objects move without explanation, her parlor tricks become unnecessary. And whatever is haunting them seems far more interested in pushing Phineas and Bridget together—repeatedly, inconveniently, and in increasingly compromising positions.
Not everything that goes bump in the night is trying to frighten you. Some spirits are simply trying to help.
