Caitlyn has left America after the end of a disasterous relationship.  Armed with faith and good-will, she takes a position at a book store located within Hogarth castle.  Working as a clerk, she meets Adrian, the castle’s ghost.

One evening as they work recording the store’s inventory, she hears his tale of how he was cursed to live in the castle eternally as a ghost.  The next day, she uncovers an important book, one that has the reversal for the enchantment Adrian has been living under.

Sara Freeze’s glimpse into the life of an honorable, imprisoned ghost is a tiny nugget of delight.  She allows the reader to see how two “people” can desire one another, build a friendship, and understand the sacrifices required should they find a way to be together.  This story was a charming pairing of contemporary and Regency genres that should bring a smile to your lips.
