Violet DeLisle is secretly delighted to have the opportunity to meet up with some of the more obscure branches of her family tree. She's been in love with her stepmother's second cousin, Charlie, since she was a child. But her beautiful half-sister has clearly set her sights on Charlie and he is obviously dazzled. Forced to hide from the lovebirds, she huddles under the stairs and meets a kindred spirit who not only turns out to be a rather feisty ghost, but a master of courtship.Note: A Ghost of a Chance was published previously as part of the collection Bedeviled: A Haunting Of Castle Keyvnor book 2.
This short story was originally part of an anthology. Its a cute story of a ghost that helps a young lady learn who her true “hero” is.
Its kisses only, no real violence except for some major scrapes, and little adult themes (mentions of drinking, gaming, and “womanizing”).
Because its short, there isn’t tremendous depth but Pearce does well to give you a sense of MCs and there is some pay off in the romance.
I enjoyed this as a quick story for the Season, although if you can get your hands on the original anthology “Bedeviled: The Haunting of Castle Keyvnor”, or the four book series which includes more stories, its probably more economical. I was unable to find an e-book copy of the collection, however.
