Haunted Ever After

Small Florida coastal towns often find themselves scrambling for the tourism dollars that the Orlando theme parks leave behind. And within the town limits of Boneyard Key, the residents decided long ago to lean into its ghostliness. Nick Royer, owner of the Hallowed Grounds coffee shop, embraces the ghost tourism that keeps the local economy afloat, as well as his spectral roommate. At least he doesnt have to run air-conditioning. Cassie Rutherford possibly overreacted to all her friends getting married and having kids by leaving Orlando and buying a flipped historic cottage in Boneyard Key. Though theres something unusual with her new home (her laptop wont charge in any outlets, and the poetry magnets on her fridge definitely didnt read WRONG and MY HOUSE when she put them up), shes charmed by the colorful history surrounding her. And shes catching a certain vibe from the grumpy coffee shop owner whenever he slips her a free slice of banana bread along with her coffee order. As Nick takes her on a ghost tour, sharing town gossip that tourists dont get to hear, and they spend nights side-by-side looking into the former owners of her haunted cottage, their connection solidifies into something very real and enticing. But Cassies worried shes in too deep with this whole (haunted) home ownership thingand Nicks afraid to get too close in case Cassie gets scared away for good.
