Ghosts of Deveraux Manor — Cara Marsi
Mayhem, Mystery, Murder, and Matchmaking Ghosts
When an American woman inherits a manor in France, she finds it comes with some unexpected accessories -- matchmaking ghosts and a hunky ex-pat Brit who may or may not be a murderer.
Philadelphian Charlotte -- Charli -- Deveraux had no idea she had relatives in France until she receives notice she's inherited a chateau in Normandy. Her art history degree has led to nothing but a soul-sucking bank job, so she takes leave, and, with her best friend, heads to France to check out the centuries-old manor. But her inheritance comes with more than she expected, including an enticing, maddening neighbor. She'd been betrayed by a man once. She's not about to trust another one.
International art restorer and expat Brit, Travis Gardner, wants nothing to do with any woman named Deveraux. He'd been married to one. When his ex-wife was murdered, suspicion fell on him. Although he had a strong alibi and was cleared by the police, a cloud hangs over him. It doesn't matter how sweet and wholesome Charli is, he's on the hunt for the real killer. He doesn't have time to help Charli find missing necklaces or the keys to a mysterious locked turret.
But a pair of matchmaking ghosts -- and their equally ghostly cat -- have other ideas. To get into the good graces of the Big Guy, they need to bring Charli and Travis together, and solve not only his ex-wife's murder, but their own. In a village full of suspects, can Charli and Travis find the keys, the jewels, and the truth before they, too, become ghosts of Deveraux Manor?
