Janis
Carter knows that her wealth is inherited and her looks enhanced by a plastic
surgeon. She also realizes that she is a failure at marriage, just ask the
cosmetic surgeon she used to call husband. Janis spends much of her time working
as the Director of the Heritage Homes
Association,
a job she enjoys. However, today she feels foolish for sponsoring a séance.
After
the event ends and everyone mortal leaves except Janis, she encounters
Confederate Major Benjamin Blair, who is also a ghost. Not sweating over the
meeting, the prim Janis learns that Benjamin's business partner murdered him and
that his killer's descendent plans to murder Janis. Benjamin suffers memory gaps
and cannot provide additional information such as who the potential killer is.
As they work together to keep Janis safe and uncover the identity of the
culprit, Benjamin and Janis fall in love. However, he realizes that a ghost can
provide nothing to a mortal. Still, she wants him forever.
THE
GHOST AND MRS. DEMURE is an exciting ghostly romance that stars two wonderful
star-crossed characters. The story line is reminiscent of the title that Marian
Jones pays homage to as the ghost and Mrs. Carter are a wonderful couple who
sub-genre fans will want the impossible to happen for them. Ms. Jones provides a
gold medal tale that is such an enchanting novel; Mrs. Muir would have wanted to
read the book.
