About this ebook
Lady B may have married Bluebeard; she may have fallen in love with a gorgeous, grumpy solicitor; she may have met a ghost and survived to tell the tale! New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Eloisa James delights with witty historical romance with a gothic twist.
In the depths of winter, Lady Genevieve Burnsby, her pet piglet, and her septuagenarian husband travel to a haunted abbey in the Scottish Highlands. Evie is excited to meet a ghost (perhaps one of her husband’s three previous wives), but didn’t expect the funny, quirky guests to become the friends she’s never had. And she certainly didn’t imagine meeting Sir Godric Everly, a sardonic, witty solicitor who loathes her husband.
Yet as secrets and lies turn Evie’s world upside down, Sir Godric becomes the one person whom she can trust.
When ghosts, multiple wills, and a shocking marriage certificate bring Lord Burnsby’s past crashing into his present, Burnsby promptly dies, leaving Evie free to remarry…though as a virgin wife, now a virgin widow, she is more unnerved by the marriage bed than a spectral visit.
More importantly, she has to figure out whose identity is false, whose vows are dishonorable, whose truths could destroy her reputation—and where her heart belongs.

I thought that this was a simply terrific read. So much wittiness makes this clever read a genuine joy to read. I really liked how so many various things were brought together to create a truly irresistibly charming story that had me laughing often, smirking routinely and charming my heart into a puddle. I loved how smart the author was as she wrote this book. So many want or expect do show up but do they in a way you'd expect? You shall have to read to find out. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Danger mixed with the holidays, new friends and family, and a burgeoning love all at a castle in the remote Highlands--what more could you want? I enjoyed this book immensely and highly recommend it.
