Penguin Soul Searching

Home is where the heart is – and in this life, ghosts. When Collins Cartwright reluctantly returns to her hometown, she has a lot to hide: her job loss, her empty bank account, and the fact that the ghosts who have accompanied her throughout her life have suddenly gone silent. Because Collins sees ghosts, and they have always been there, like old friends, like a promise of safety. But now, of all times, they are silent. To avoid staying with her family, she moves above the shop of Brady Cooper, a newcomer with craftsmanship skills and a striking number of unspoken reasons for his fresh start. Unfortunately, his house is anything but empty. Brady takes the quirky roommate surprisingly well, even when she occasionally talks to thin air – the good thing is that their arrangement is only temporary, right? Included tropes: Cozy Romance, Roommates/Neighbor to Lovers, Slow Burn, Small Town Spice Level: 2 out of 5.
