PRE-SALE for Ghosts and Roses on Curios

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

Daphne knows better than to mix business with pleasure—especially when the client is her friend’s ex. But when acclaimed journalist Freddy Mendoza arrives in the historic coastal town of Everbrier Bay to write a high-profile article on its famously chatty ghosts, Daphne sees opportunity blooming. If she can convince him to feature her beloved inn, it could be the promotion she’s been chasing for years.

Freddy has his own reasons for taking the assignment. A remote position would mean more time with his young daughter—and fewer nights feeling like he’s failing at both work and fatherhood. All he needs to do is stay focused, investigate the hauntings, and ignore the charming front desk manager who insists on being his personal ghost tour guide.

Easy. Right?

Between suffocating elevators, unsettling masks, a competitive scarecrow contest, and one meddlesome ghost named Gordy, staying professional proves impossible. Freddy’s fascination with Benicia’s spirits clashes with Daphne’s very human fears—of ghosts, of getting hurt, and of falling for the one man she shouldn’t.

As secrets surface and motives are revealed, Daphne and Freddy must decide what truly matters: ambition or safety…or the terrifying possibility of love.

Because some ghosts want to be remembered—and some hearts just want a second chance.
