Between a ghost who won’t quit, Kirsty’s big secret and a mystery tied to Jasper’s past, they’re in for more than otherworldly flirtations. With a little help from the beyond, Kirsty and Jasper are about to discover the only thing stronger than life or death might just be love.

2. The Witch Is Back by Sophie H. Morgan
Emma Bluewater is determined to put life as a witch behind her. She may have been born into witch society, but her days of trying to fit in are over – they ended years ago, when the man she hoped to marry left town without a word.

Until Bastian walks through the door and announces that he wants her back!
Bastian had his reasons for leaving Emma, reasons he can never tell her. But a curse on his family dictates he must fulfil their marriage contract or face darker consequences. Emma is even more spellbinding than Bastian remembers, but not easily won over. And time is ticking.
With secrets and curses swirling around them, Emma and Bastian must navigate dark magic and broken hearts. Magical contracts are not easily broken, and they become even more complicated when you fall in love…
