About Old Lover's Ghost

Charity Wainwright’s father had a special ability to placate ghosts, so they frequently traveled about the country. Which gave her little time to acquire a husband. But when they arrived at Keefer Hall, whose ghost was distressing the Earl of Merton’s mother, there was much more amiss than a ghost. The earl was more than skeptical of Charity’s father—and her—but he could be charming when he wished.
