A ghostly errand in coastal Virginia

Cam Parker’s return to Silver Cove begins with practical troubles: storm damage to her grandmother’s house and a demanding celebrity cookbook client. Then an old cookbook brings an unexpected complication—a spirit seeking help with a century-old wrong. The paranormal thread sits alongside Cam’s developing feelings for carpenter Ian McCabe and her work behind the scenes as a cookbook ghostwriter. Together, these strands connect the story’s supernatural premise with questions about caution, visibility, and shaping a life of one’s own, all within a small-town setting on Virginia’s coast.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy contemporary romance with a paranormal element.
  • Those interested in small-town stories set in a coastal community.
  • Readers drawn to stories about food writing, family ties, and reconsidering a cautious way of life.

Book overview

A cookbook ghostwriter accidentally summons a spirit and must help with her unfinished business in this charming and cozy paranormal novel--full of small-town charm and a delightful cast of characters!

Cam Parker likes being invisible. As a cookbook ghostwriter, she lives a quiet, orderly life well behind the scenes. But when a storm smashes into her beloved grandmother's house, she'll do anything to pay for the repairs, even taking on a nightmare celebrity client and returning from Brooklyn to her coastal-Virginia hometown of Silver Cove and all its small-town drama.

Before she can say boo, Cam's predictable world collapses like an underbaked souffle. For starters, she's developing inconvenient feelings for carpenter Ian McCabe, who's equal parts charm and complication. And then there's the actual ghost Cam accidentally summons from an old cookbook, who apparently needs her help to right a century-old wrong. Cam can barely keep all these plates in the air. But the chaos just might push her to question her cautious approach to life--and finally write her own recipe for happiness.
