Blue Dahlia by Nora Roberts
3.0

This book is about three women, who intersect at the Harper House, which holds a ghost known only as the Harper Bride. Stella Rothchild has lost her husband, and moved with her two boys to find a job at In the Garden nursery. Rosalind "Roz" Harper is Stella's new boss, and asks Stella and her children to stay at her house for a trial period. Hayley Phillips is Roz's near-cousin, pregnant and looking for a new start, living in Harper House until she can get back on her feet.

The Harper Bride loves children and their mothers, but she becomes unhappy when Stella becomes attracted to landscaper Logan Kitridge. As the romance grows, so does the ghost's anger, until the women of Harper House start searching for the ghost's lost history.

A bit of romance and mystery, this book is quite clearly part of a set. New romances are budding as the first develops, and while you learn some things about the ghost, secrets still remain.
