She sees dead people.
She also sees a really good-looking problem.

Everly Fox sees ghosts. In Galveston, that makes an already complicated life considerably harder to keep under control.

When a teenage ghost turns to Everly for help, she finds herself pulled into an unsolved mystery tangled through Marisol Manor and the Cordero family's past. The deeper she digs, the more secrets surface—and some of them have been buried for a reason.

Then there's Santiago “Santi” Cordero: handsome, frustrating, increasingly difficult to ignore, and far too close to the family history Everly is trying to unravel.

With romantic tension building, the dead refusing to stay quiet, and Matt Damon the pug along for the ride, Everly may have come to Galveston for work—but leaving without answers is becoming less likely by the day.
