Publisher's Synopsis
Always a loner, Irene Bell prefers to spend her days tending her little bookstore in the sleepy little Virginia town of Saint's Grove. After all, she tells herself, what other company does a girl need when she has her books? But when a much anticipated lunar eclipse and planetary alignment bring a meteor that tears a rift between realities, the entire town is thrown into chaos as mythology becomes reality. A reality that includes a drop-dead gorgeous ghost named Benjamin Churchill, who appears naked and unconscious, smack dab in the middle of her store. A chance meeting with a witch reveals he's been cursed, his body and soul bound to his former office, now Irene's bookstore. The only way to break the curse is to assemble the long-lost pieces of a mystical artifact known as the Star Anthame, a knife created by magic and cursed by the darkest witch Saint's Grove has ever known. No one knows where the pieces lay, and worse, they aren't the only ones looking for it. Racing against a ticking clock, both Irene and Benjamin must fight the irresistible attraction between them. Breaking the curse means Benjamin can finally cross over. Failing means he'll be stuck between worlds for another thousand years. And no matter how hard they look, they can't seem to find a way for him to stay. What's a girl to do when the man she loves is a ghost?
