Lucy Ashcroft hasn't considered seeing dead people a problem since she left home. She returns to take care of her eccentric grandmother, expecting an old lady in leather pants and spurs, and finds the ghost of her high school nemesis. Darla Swithers is the tragic victim of an anaphylactic reaction to cosmetic Botox. She wouldn't be caught dead in Lucy's company when she was alive. Now, the annoying apparition sticks to her like polyester on a leisure suit. However, some things haven't changed, including Jackson Merritt. Lucy's former crush is still the hottest thing this side of Hell. Lucy figures the only thing she and the town mortician have in common is dealing with dead people—except Jackson's don't talk back. Can a woman surrounded by ghosts find happiness with a sexy undertaker who doesn't believe in them? And can she convince Darla to see the light...and go into it?
