The House on Persimmon Road — Jackie Weger

Need Help? Hire a Ghost. She Cooks. Lottie Roberts has been sitting on her bones since the Civil War, waiting for her ticket to heaven until…Justine Hale moves into Lottie's two-hundred-year-old house with three generations of emotional baggage--her mother, her ex mother-in-law and two pesky children. Lottie senses in Justine a kindred spirit -- filled with heartache and in reduced circumstances, which mirrors Lottie's situation exactly. Justine needs help. Lottie is of a mind to provide it, but before she can say squat, Tucker Highsmith arrives. His dark eyes, lazy grin, and sexy Alabama drawl coupled with the dern braggart's Mr. Fix-it talents just might be the answer to all of Justine's problems--or, maybe not… Because Lottie has her own agenda, one she has been waiting, hoping and praying for since she discovered her bones on a hidden staircase.
