About this ebook

One week to find their happily-ever-afterlife ✨💕🎁 Curl up with this cosy new Christmas second chance romance, the perfect festive read for fans of BBC's Ghosts, Emily Henry and The Holiday!

Mia’s been ghosted. Nursing the heartache of her breakup, her festive spirit is running on empty. The last thing she needs is a Christmas reminder of how unlucky in love she is... which is exactly what she gets when she discovers her ex, Sam, is spending the holidays with her family. Now she’s snowed in for a week with the man who broke her heart and no chance of escape.

John’s a ghost. After 30 years in limbo without a soul to talk to, he’s bored to death. So when Mia actually sees him, he figures that helping her to find closure - and maybe a second chance with the man she still loves - could be his key to reaching the afterlife.

As the snow keeps falling and old feelings begin to thaw, Mia finds herself struggling resist Sam, with his crooked smile and bookish charm. Maybe she's ready to give love another chance - but is that her heart talking, or just her ghostly wingman?
