Synopsis

"You get a long, hot summer full of the most delectable kind of pining."--The New York Times

Clashing ghost tours lead to a sizzling romantic rivalry in the second romance in the new series from USA Today bestselling author Jen DeLuca.

Boneyard Key, Florida, is the only home Sophie has ever known. Her love for its supernatural history has flourished into a career, as she guides the one and only ghost tour through the town’s can’t-miss haunted spots. And while her bank account isn’t full by any means, her heart is. Or at least, it was.

But there's a newcomer in town. The son of a Fortune 500 businessman, former theater kid Tristan has grown his tours from a fraternity fundraiser to a multicity ghost tour conglomerate. It’s doing well, but not well enough—if he can’t prove that he’s solidly in the black by the fall, Dad’s going to pull his funding, spelling the end of his career. Boneyard Key, with its haunted reputation, seems like the perfect place to boost his bottom line.

When the two ghost tours clash, Sophie’s expletive-filled rant goes viral, and the rivals strike up a deal. Whoever has the most successful business by summer’s end stays, while the loser must ghost. But the more Tristan comes to appreciate Boneyard Key, the more Sophie comes to appreciate Tristan, and what starts as begrudging respect becomes something spicier. Can they put their feuding businesses aside to make room for a chance at love, or is Boneyard Key too small for two ghost tours?

Thank you NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for this arc in exchange for an honest review! Pretty disappointed with this one for a couple of reasons. I thought for sure this book was gonna be Sophie and Theo, they had way more chemistry in the first book as side characters than Sophie and Tristain did......more

Goodreads review by Mara on August 09, 2025

This is probably more of "it's not you, it's me," because I am a hard sell on an enemies to lovers and the hero reminded me a lot of Logan Huntzberger. Overall - love the town, this author always delivers on the writing, but I just didn't fully connect on the romance......more
