One ghost bride with an agenda. One medium who'd rather not have feelings. One thoroughly cheerful man who refuses to take no for an answer.

Tessa
I am a professional. I exorcise ghosts for a living, and I have absolutely no interest in Mr. Jasper Steele — a fact I have communicated clearly, repeatedly, and with great precision. The ghost currently haunting him, however, refuses to cooperate. And the man himself has developed the most inconvenient habit of being kind. I am moody and cross, as anyone who has ever met me will confirm, and I intend to stay that way. It is considerably easier than the alternative. And I find I don't mind nearly as much as I should when Mr. Steele tells me he finds this delightful.

Jasper
Miss Tessa Preston thinks I am confusing her. She is correct. I am confused too, mostly about how a woman can be so thoroughly aggravating and so entirely wonderful at the same time. I have a ghost in my house, a mother with opinions, and a rapidly dwindling list of excuses to keep turning up at Hartwell House. What I do not have is the good sense to stop teasing Tessa.
