I don't normally read romances, but one set in a haunted castle was right up my alley. Neil and Penelope are Native authors--but Neil is categorized as a popular sell-out whereas Penelope categorizes herself as an authentic author...but rarely published. And it doesn't help that Penelope through a book at Neil's head during a conference. Enter a writer's retreat set in a so-called haunted castle. The only thing worse than these two being stuck together...is an actual haunted castle. And they're the only two that can see the ghosts. 

In typical romance fashion, they overcome their differences, help the ghost, and have a little heated sex along the way. If you enjoy enemies-to-lovers, heartfelt confessions, and romance set against a backdrop of institutionalized racism, then this book is for you.
