In Love With Your Ghost
(2026)(The second book in the Sugar Pine Springs series)
A Story by Laurel Osterkamp
Hartley and Levi fell in love, and it was magic. Until Levi ghosted her. No goodbye, no explanation.
He didn'''t die. He just left her haunted.
Which is ironic, since Hartley can legit see ghosts. Thirteen years later, Levi’s grandmother and Hartley’s good friend, Soledad Herrera, unexpectedly passes away. Hartley and Levi each inherit half of Soledad’s estate. The twist? Before claiming it, they must spend one month living together in her crumbling house located on the haunted grounds of the abandoned Hot Springs Sanitarium, surrounded by the iron creatures Soledad and Levi once built together. Levi wants to tear it all down. Hartley wants to save every last stone. And the sanitarium’s ghosts? They want something too.
Autumn grows cold and dark. Old feelings rise from the dead. And Hartley and Levi realize that while a haunted house is scary, even scarier is a love that refuses to die.
In Love With Your Ghost is a warm, spooky romance that gives a nod to ‘weird girl lit’ authors like Shirley Jackson, Sylvia Plath, and Edith Wharton, and is set in the world of Sugar Pine Springs.
Genre: General Fiction
