The Dead Romantics (Paperback)
Ashley Poston (author)Published: 29/09/2022

Riotous romcom perfection that will induce both tears and laughter, The Dead Romantics sees a writer – disillusioned in love but tasked with penning amorous tales – fall in love with the ghost of her undeniably hot but recently very dead editor.
Florence Day is a ghost-writer with one big problem. She's supposed to be penning swoon-worthy novels for a famous romance author but, after a bad break-up, Florence no longer believes in love. And when her strict (but undeniably hot) new editor, Benji Andor, won't give her an extension on her book deadline, Florence prepares to kiss her career goodbye.
Although when tragedy strikes and Florence has to head home, the last thing she expects to see is a ghost at her front door. Not just any ghost, however, but the stern form of her still very hot - yet now unquestionably dead - new editor.
As sparks start to fly between them, Florence tells herself she can't be falling for a ghost - even an infuriatingly sexy one. But can Benji help Florence to realise love isn't dead, after all?
