What if your true love was a ghost who haunts the house you never wanted?

For fans of One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston and Everything She Does Is Magic by Bridget Morrissey, The Ghost of You Lingers is a grumpy/sunshine sapphic romance with cozy witch vibes that casts the perfect spell.

When queer punk guitarist Gibson Cartwright inherits her great-aunt’s Mackinac Island cottage, she plans to fix up the house as quickly as possible, sell it for a million bucks, get off the touristy island, and return to New York City.

But there’s a catch: The house is haunted by Annabelle, the ghost of a 200-year-old beautiful British woman. Far from terrifying, this ghost is gorgeous, sweet, and flirty. As Gibson fixes up the house to sell it, she starts to fall in love with life on the island—and the ghost haunting her house. Meanwhile, Gibson’s know-it-all witchy cousin shows up and says she might know how to bring Annabelle back to life through a magic spell. Gibson doesn’t believe in witchcraft…but she starts to wonder what life would be like if she could stay on Mackinac with Annabelle.

When a smarmy developer offers Gibson more cash than she imagined possible, she must choose between a future with her new friends on the island and a love she can never touch or returning to her old life—alone but a millionaire.
