Ghost of a Chance
Melissa Soul is looking forward to a long California summer—one sunny enough to make her forget her parents’ impending divorce and the ugly For Sale sign in her yard. Her goals are pretty basic: 1) avoid babysitting her annoying little brother, 2) hang out at the beach with her best friend, Chloe, and 3) manage to exchange a few intelligent words with Chloe’s gorgeous brother, Chaz. But all that changes fast when Melissa meets the new “man” in Chloe’s life. Magnetic, mysterious, and eternally eighteen, James haunts Chloe’s 1920s mansion—and Melissa’s dreams. Melissa falls for him so hard that soon she forgets everything else, including the possibility that he might be in love with her best friend. If two souls are meant for each other, can death—or Chloe—keep them apart? From Ghost of a Chance: I'll leave you to imagine how well I didn't sleep that night. I couldn't stop tossing and turning. I mean, it isn't every day you meet a ghost. The thing is, though, by about midnight or one o'clock, that wasn't even the issue anymore. All I could see were James's eyes. I couldn't get them out of my head. And that voice! The way it curled right up inside my ear. It was so . . . intimate. I have to tell you that James was hands-down the hottest guy I've ever seen, dead or alive. On the other hand, how stupid is it to fall in love with a ghost? Not that I was falling in love, I kept telling myself. It was just sort of a crush. A world-class crush, maybe, but a crush just the same. Infatuation. Still, it kept me up all night.
