Clive needs out. He loves his family and the happiness they've all found, but their focus on his lack of relationships is stifling. His plan? Move halfway across the country to take over a veterinarian practice from a couple ready to retire. The problem? They've also accidentally offered it to Emily, a ghost from Clive's past.
Life has been anything but fair to Emily, so when she has a chance to make her dreams come true, nothing is going to stand in her way. Not even her former classmate with the charming smile and who loves puppies as much as she does.
Falling in love wouldn't even be impractical—it'd be impossible. Neither wants to go back to the way things were, but without learning to rely on each other, happiness might be out of reach.
Rachael Eliker is an avid reader and author with eclectic tastes as well as a lifelong horse fanatic and self-taught home renovator (a skill which has been tested on every home she’s ever owned). She forces herself to nurture her love/hate relationship with her cowardly dog who would leave her for dead should anything ever happen.
Married to her very own absentminded rocket scientist, together they have more kids than most people can comprehend. When she’s not writing, she enjoys mucking stalls, riding her geriatric horse, milking their ornery Jersey cow, and wondering what life would be like as a celebrity if she wasn’t content being an introvert.
