When Astor Hudson (who's real name is Meg Addams) is turned down for a role on Broadway that she'd be perfect for, it starts her to thinking about Glenhaven Park, her quiet hometown in upstate New York. Add in her frustration with her moody teenage daughter Cosette, and Meg is sure a move from Manhattan is just what both of them need to reconnect and straighten out their lives. But Glenhaven Park is not the same small town Meg left behind all those years ago. It's now jam-packed with ritzy boutiques and well-heeled outsiders. When Meg is finally able to locate a place to stay, it's a clunky old house needing lots of repairs (and said to be haunted). It does come with one redeeming feature -- it's right next door to Meg's old high-school crush (unrequited), Sam Rooney, who's a big help when Meg needs it. Sam is also a single parent, as well as Cosette's soccer coach, so the two families are thrown together often. This can't lead to anything but love, right? Well, maybe, but is a bumpy ride along the way. Ms. Markham has written a delightfully fun and heartwarming romance. You can't help but fall in love with the characters as they muddle their way through life to find happiness in the end.

SUMMARY

Fed up with her moody teenage daughter, Meg Addams decides what they both need is a good dose of suburban wholesomeness. But when they leave Manhattan behind for Meg's humble blue-collar hometown, they find it crowded with wealthy strangers and upscale boutiques. Settling into a creaky fixer-upper, Meg finally spots a familiar face right next door--and it belongs to none other than Sam Rooney. The would-be love of Meg's high school life is now a single dad, her daughter's new soccer coach--and a neighborly ghost-buster whenever things go bump in the night. With three kids and an undeniable attraction between them, Meg and Sam are in for some heart-racing, wee-hour encounters that have nothing to do with spirits...but everything to do with hearts.
