The one who got away is back in town...but only until midnight. Wendy Deveaux, prickly heiress to her family's New Orleans ghost tour business has pushed aside her own dreams to take care of her family and take over the business for her ailing dad. At least, that's what she tells herself. Sacrificing for the people she loves sounds a lot better than admitting an uncomfortable truth: every time she's gotten close to taking a leap, she's bailed before anyone can reject her. Now, this New Year's Eve, Wendy's alone and spinning her wheels while everyone else speeds forward, and she's second-guessing her choices. Especially walking away from Alec, the sexy cinnamon roll Canadian who melted the ice around her Scroogy heart and completed her in a way she never saw coming. When Alec unexpectedly walks back into her tour shop on New Year's Eve, the old feelings rush back, along with a reminder of the unshakable connection they shared before she chickened out. Wendy's never been more sure in her life about what she wants. But after the way she hurt him before, could he ever give her a second chance? Playing it safe could help her dodge another crushing blow. But if she lets him walk out of her city again without fighting for him, she may regret it for the rest of her life. It might take three smart-assed spirits, a dose of holiday magic, and joining forces with Alec's possibly evil twin, but if Wendy can find a way to move past her fears, their story just might have a happy ending after all. This cozy, feel-good second chance romance is a retelling of a Christmas Carol, perfect for anyone who's ever wanted to take a leap and see it ends happily ever after.

This series is designed to encourage independent reading and covers a range of subject matter, including the retelling of children's classics, fairytales and a wide variety of narrative non-fiction.

Let me set the record straight. My name is Charlotte Silver and I'm not one of those paranormal-obsessed freaks you see on TV…no, those would be my parents, who have their own ghost-hunting reality show. And while I'm usually roped into the behind-the-scenes work, it turns out that I haven't gone unnoticed. Something happened on my parents' research trip in Charleston—and now I'm being stalked by some truly frightening other beings. Trying to fit into a new school and keeping my parents' creepy occupation a secret from my friends—and potential boyfriends—is hard enough without having angry spirits whispering in my ear. All I ever wanted was to be normal, but with ghosts of my past and present colliding, now I just want to make it out of high school alive….
