Description: Lady B may have married Bluebeard; she may have fallen in love with a gorgeous, grumpy solicitor; she may have met a ghost and survived to tell the tale! New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Eloisa James delights with witty historical romance with a gothic twist.
In the depths of winter, Lady Genevieve Burnsby, her pet piglet, and her septuagenarian husband travel to a haunted abbey in the Scottish Highlands. Evie is excited to meet a ghost (perhaps one of her husband's three previous wives), but didn't expect the funny, quirky guests to become the friends she's never had. And she certainly didn't imagine meeting Sir Godric Everly, a sardonic, witty solicitor who loathes her husband. Yet as secrets and lies turn Evie's world upside down, Sir Godric becomes the one person whom she can trust. When ghosts, multiple wills, and a shocking marriage certificate bring Lord Burnsby's past crashing into his present, Burnsby promptly dies, leaving Evie free to remarry...though as a virgin wife, now a virgin widow, she is more unnerved by the marriage bed than a spectral visit. More importantly, she has to figure out whose identity is false, whose vows are dishonorable, whose truths could destroy her reputation--and where her heart belongs.Brief description: Eloisa James is a New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of historical romances.

Review Quotes: "As the intrigue ramps up--complete with death, scandalous revelations, criminal allegations, and the potential for supernatural interference--sparks fly between Evie and Godric. The gothic abbey proves a perfect backdrop to their tumultuous and compulsively readable romance. It's an unmitigated delight."-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)"
