“I LOVED this book! …Funny, breathtaking, hopeful, and dreamy.”—Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis
A disillusioned millennial ghostwriter who, quite literally, has some ghosts of her own, has to find her way back home in this sparkling adult debut from national bestselling author Ashley Poston.
Florence Day is the ghostwriter for one of the most prolific romance authors in the industry, and she has a problem—after a terrible breakup, she no longer believes in love. It’s as good as dead.
When her new editor, a too-handsome mountain of a man, won’t give her an extension on her book deadline, Florence prepares to kiss her career goodbye. But then she gets a phone call she never wanted to receive, and she must return home for the first time in a decade to help her family bury her beloved father.
For ten years, she’s run from the town that never understood her, and even though she misses the sound of a warm Southern night and her eccentric, loving family and their funeral parlor, she can’t bring herself to stay. Even with her father gone, it feels like nothing in this town has changed. And she hates it.
Until she finds a ghost standing at the funeral parlor’s front door, just as broad and infuriatingly handsome as ever, and he’s just as confused about why he’s there as she is.
Romance is most certainly dead . . . but so is her new editor, and his unfinished business will have her second-guessing everything she’s ever known about love stories.

When my boyfriend of two years said he had something important to tell me, and choose the location of our dinner at our special restaurant, I really thought he was going to put a ring on it!
Surprise! He dumped me.
To forget the betrayal I went out for a drink, but one shot led to another, and before I knew it I was fluttering my eyelashes telling the hottest guy I’ve ever laid eyes on that he was perfect. At that point I think, I also kinda fell into his heavenly lap. And what a lap it was. All hard and muscular…
Surprise! We end up in his bed.
I leave his apartment in the morning amazed at myself. I’m not into one night stands and I never thought I would ever be so, so, so hungry for a man. The things I did! Thank God, I’ll never ever see him again.
Surprise! I turned up for my new job and yes…he’s the CEO.
Life is about to get very, very complicated.

When a bookworm on borrowed time meets a younger, free-spirited chicken farmer, sparks and feathers fly…
Harrison Phillip Fletcher, III isn’t supposed to be here. Not in Burlington, Vermont, not running Vino & Veritas, a quaint inclusive bookstore and wine bar, and definitely not still alive, at forty-two. Also not supposed to be here? An unexpected delivery of chickens.
Finn Barnes knows chickens. The burly organic farmer knows all about rare breed poultry, but dealing with a hot, older bookseller is an entirely different matter. City slicker types like Harrison never end up staying in Vermont for the long-term.
They should steer clear of each other. But the flare of attraction is mutual. And somehow amid book discussions and farm tours, they discover plenty in common. Now they’re stealing kisses in Finn’s barn, sneaking out like teens, and burning up the sheets.
What starts as a fling brings very real feelings for two lonely souls, but a future together seems as unlikely as chickens in a bookstore. Feathers may be flying, but learning to trust takes time neither may have. Can they take a leap of faith together before it’s too late?
Featherbed is a stand-alone novel in Sarina Bowen’s World of True North. This opposites attract, age gap romance features a low-angst, fluffy—and feathery—romp as a fish out of water discovers the home he never thought he’d find.
Featherbed (Vino and Veritas) by Annabeth Albert- $1.99 for a limited time.
While these book deals sound tempting, I’ve got a paper to write! But hey, these romantic plots could serve as great inspiration for analyzing themes of love and relationships in literature. Maybe I’ll incorporate some of these storylines into my next English assignment. I’ve seen review here https://medium.com/@george.kv/mysupergeek-review-2024-420302790a2d and I am going to use it for my task. It’s all about finding that balance between work and play, right?
