Now she's inherited a bed-and-breakfast from her great aunt, a woman she never met. It looks like her problems are solved. Except, Billie's not prepared for the immense loneliness that comes with such a life. There's enough to keep her distracted day to day, but thoughts of Sam Willis, her sexy chef neighbor, aren't quite enough to fill her nights.
Sam is the perfect man: good to her children, a supportive friend, and he stirs up feelings Billie long ago forsook. Yet Sam is taken, and his girlfriend is beautiful and socially connectedand rich. Could he truly believe a single mother of two would be a better partner and lover? That's what the kindhearted, spitfire of a ghost in Billie's bedroom believes. And Great Aunt Emily thinks this love is worth any risk.
