Ghosted
by Lori Matsourani
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Synopsis
When her fiancé’s infidelity prompts Bethany Hendren to map out a new path forward, her plans are disrupted by an unexpected encounter with Nick Dorsey, who convinces her to help search for the remains of a troubled eighteenth-century ghost. Nick is the handsome summer boyfriend who ghosted her years ago, and now he wants to rekindle their relationship.
Despite her reluctance to trust him, Bethany discovers he’s still the funny, caring person who captured her heart as a teen, but giving him a second chance is risky—it could lead to love and happiness or result in another devastating heartache.
Although Bethany wants a happily ever after with Nick, does she have the courage to trust him with her future?
.
Enjoy this peek inside:
As they walked back to the inn, Bethany counted on the shadows from the street lamps to mask Nick’s probing gaze and boost her courage to ask him what happened all those years ago. His reason might help her find closure and make peace with the past. And then, maybe, they could part as friends.
But what if his explanation inflicted a fresh wound instead?
She hesitated, and Nick broke the silence. “There’s something captivating about this town at night. It gives me a sense of anticipation, like something exciting is just ahead.”
“It’s the same for me, too,” she replied, relieved her question remained unasked. “Like anything is possible, as though the darkness dismantles all the barriers we erect during the day.”
He turned his head. “Are there specific barriers you’re referring to?”
Fear. She was afraid to find out what happened that summer. And truth. Did she really want to know why he’d ghosted her?
As she contemplated a reply, his fingers brushed against hers. She stiffened, surprised by his touch and flustered by the warmth of his skin. Immediately, her mind went blank, his question and her reply obliterated by the rapid thudding inside her chest.
Be strong.
“I’m sorry,” she mumbled, moving her hand away from his to scratch her cheek, then fidget with her purse strap. “What did you say?”

Thank you! Maryland’s Eastern Shore is a perfect setting for romance and ghosts.
Sounds like a book I will enjoy.
Thank you!
I’m thrilled to share my characters, Bethany and Nick. For Bethany, rediscovering the person who makes her skin tingle and heart pound is exciting, yet terrifying. It can lead to joy… or heartbreak, and it’s hard to trust that the opportunity for happiness is worth the risk of despair.
Ghosted is all about trust and how we sometimes need to just close our eyes, leap out of our safety zone, and trust that our soulmate is there to catch us.
This sounds like a lovely autumn read!

The cover art sets the stage for the book.
There are many historic towns and buildings in Maryland. Annapolis is one of my favorites. And ghosts are everywhere (even in the house next door to my mother-in-law!).
Maryland’s Eastern Shore was home to several plantations back in the 1700s.
This is a story that will grab many readers.
