She knew she’d been ghosted. She just didn’t think he would be so literal about it.

Rae Alderwood has been a medium her whole life, but she’s never been particularly happy about it. If it were up to her, she would blend in with her vintage wallpaper. While she may wish away her Gift, her conscience still demands she help any spirit in need. She’s willing to help the dead, but the living don’t need to know her secret.

Rae has all but given up on most relationships outside of her family. She’s content to spend her days managing The Veil, her eclectic aunt’s oddities and occult shop, and hanging out with her prickly younger sister, Wren.

When Rae sets up a dating profile at the behest of her sister, she matches with Dean Crawford. Against her better judgment, she agrees to go on a date with him. It’s the best date she’s ever been on, but when Dean ghosts her, Rae can’t help but wonder what went wrong.

Weeks later, Dean shows up at her apartment, only this time, he’s decidedly less alive. Now, Rae and Dean must figure out what happened to him so he can move on. Rae is determined to do her job, and she’s unwilling to let their feelings complicate things—even if Dean is a massive flirt who wears against her best defenses. Nothing about Dean’s death is adding up, but their attraction makes sleuthing sexy, if not a little dangerous.

Rae and Dean know they’re together on borrowed time. Can they protect their hearts and solve the mystery of Dean’s death? Will Rae ever be able to return to her monotonous life again once they do?

Ghosted is for fans of Meg Cabot’s The Mediator (but for adults), CBS’ Ghost Whisperer, and for anyone who’s thought a ghost boyfriend sounds kinda hot.
