She needs him to fall in love with her inn. Falling for her was never part of the plan.

Daphne Dickens has spent years putting everyone else first. Now she finally has a chance at the promotion she’s earned, if she can convince visiting journalist Freddy Mendoza to feature Everbrier Bay’s historic First Street Inn in his article about the town’s famously chatty ghosts.

Simple, right? But her inn’s resident ghost, and her heart, have other plans.

Freddy is a single dad, dangerously charming, and—because that’s just Daphne’s luck—her friend’s ex-husband.

Daphne knows better than to risk her career (and her friendships) for a man who’s supposed to be a client. But as she guides Freddy through haunted hotels, quirky festivals, and ghost-filled corners of Everbrier Bay, he seems less interested in the story she’s selling and more interested in her.

The ghosts notice too.

And at least one meddling spirit is determined to make sure Daphne finally gets the happily-ever-after she never thought to ask for.

As ghostly encounters escalate and carefully buried feelings refuse to stay buried, Daphne must decide whether protecting the life she’s built is worth walking away from the one thing she never planned for: a man who truly sees her and might just be worth the risk.

Ghosts and Roses is a sweet, no-spice cozy paranormal romance filled with small-town charm, meddling ghosts, found family, a swoony single dad, best-friend’s-ex tension, and a heroine finally learning that sometimes the best things in life aren’t on her checklist.

Ghosts. Roses. And one promotion that might cost her everything.

This Halloween the stakes are already high, and that's before a lovesick ghost meddles in her love life.

Daphne Dickens knows exactly what she needs at this stage in her life: the title of Assistant General Manager and the much-needed salary boost that comes with the promotion. Romance could not be further from her mind. Her job is simple: show the Very Important Person (VIP), a writer for a renowned magazine covering the ghost scene in Everbrier Bay, how fabulous First Street Inn is.

But when the VIP turns out to be too friendly and good-looking for her own good, her best intentions unravel. She volunteers to be his personal tour guide to the ghost world, even though she’s a true disbeliever. Between pursuing ghost stories and avoiding the very real dangers of elevators, Daphne's resolve falters, and she must decide what matters most: a safe career move or risking it all for love.

Ghosts and Roses is a sweet (no spice) small-town romance with a paranormal twist filled with small-town charm, gentle scares, found family, and characters you will root for.
