Ghosted at Christmas

Brought to you by Penguin.

If you love BBC's Ghosts and Emily Henry, you'll love Ghosted at Christmas!

One week to fall in love. One week to find your happily-ever-afterlife...

Mia’s been ghosted. Her festive spirits are at an all-time low, but at least her Christmas can’t get any worse. Or so she thought, until she discovered that her ex, Sam, is spending Christmas with her family. Now she’s looking at a whole week with the man who broke her heart and no chance of escape.

John’s a ghost. After 30 years in limbo without a soul to talk to, he’s bored to death but still can’t seem to reach the afterlife. So when Mia screams at the sight of him, he can't help but wonder why this lovelorn girl can see him. Could helping to ease her heartbreak be his ticket to passing on?

As John and Mia become friends, he’s desperate to work out how he can cheer her up. But then John sees the way that Sam and Mia look at each other and he knows how to convince her that love isn’t dead after all. She just needs a ghostly nudge in the right direction...

Tropes:

• Exes to lovers
• Forced proximity
• A paranormal twist
