Great Caesar's Ghost — Cynthia Sterling

Can a meddling ghost inject a little spirit into the lives of two young lovers?

A traveling showman like Caesar Hawkins isn't about to let his own death come between him and his son Jed's happiness. Unfortunately, the famous cure-all elixir he left behind can't ease the incurable malady of the boy's lonely heart--because Jed's in need of something more potent than tonic. Something a little sweeter. And a little smoother. Leave it to Caesar...

Nixie Dengler knows the toll that rambling men can take on a vulnerable heart. So what does she see in another roustabout like Jed? Actually, it's what she doesn't see that's drawing them together. Can a matchmaking spirit unite two earthly souls in love? Caesar's not resting until he does.
