Ghost Me, Maybe: A Romantic Comedy

A pretty librarian inherits a library and falls for the sexy architect who believes he should be the rightful owner in this enemies-to-lovers romcom.

Librarian Callie Jameson is floored when she learns she's to inherit the historic library on Petite Bois Island. All she knows about the barrier island off the coast of Louisiana is what her benefactor and beloved patron, Khaki Boudreaux, has told her about it and the beautiful life--and love--she once had there.

Seeing this opportunity as a chance to start over, Callie packs up her tortoiseshell cat, Stella, and heads south. But the moment she sets foot in the beautiful old building, she encounters an all-too-handsome tenant who claims the library belongs to him. So much for southern hospitality . . .

Trey LeBlanc spent his happiest summers with his Aunt Khaki on Petite Bois Island and has been living at the library while he renovates the old building. After all the effort he's put into this place, he can't understand why his aunt cut him out of the will. Now he'll have to convince Callie and her very opinionated cat to sell him the cherished property.

But then strange things start to happen around the library, and Trey hopes Callie will just get scared off by the "ghosts" haunting the place. When he realizes these aren't just neighborhood kids pulling pranks, however, but rather a dangerous scheme to get rid of the woman he's beginning to fall for, he'll do anything to keep her safe in his arms forever . . .

Tropes include: enemies to lovers, forced proximity, matchmaking, and woman in jeopardy.
