Ghost Business by Jen DeLuca (Sept. 9, 2025) Thank you @berkleyromance and @prhaudio for the free advanced reading and listening copies! #berkley #berkleypartner #prhaudioinfluencer
Sophie’s ghost tours in Boneyard Key aren’t your average spooky fun—they’re historically accurate and genuinely haunted (with locals who fully embrace it). But when Tristan rolls into town with his franchise of copy-and-paste ghost stories, Sophie is furious. Not only is he spreading fiction in her beloved town, he’s threatening the business she’s poured her heart into.
Tristan, though, is desperate. He’s racing to make his ghost tour venture profitable enough to pay back his father’s investment—or risk being forced into to the finance bro career he dreads. Boneyard Key seems like the perfect place to cash in. What he doesn’t expect? To be completely disarmed by his fiery competition. As sparks fly and loyalties tug, Tristan finds himself torn between ambition and the possibility of a home—and love—he never thought he’d find.
After adoring Haunted Ever After in 2024, I was thrilled to return to Boneyard Key. This town is everything: quirky traditions, small businesses worth rooting for, ghosts woven into everyday life, and friendships that feel real. Sophie and Tristan’s banter is sharp and swoony, and their enemies-to-lovers energy kept me hooked. I also loved the nod in the dedication to readers who expected Sophie and Theo to end up together—this path feels so much more authentic to her character, while setting up Theo for a compelling future book. This is the perfect pick for spooky-season romance lovers—full of charm, wit, and just enough ghostly magic.
🎧 Audiobook Thoughts: At 11h 44m, Jeannie Sheneman once again brings Boneyard Key to life with vivid warmth and personality. Her narration makes this unique town and its colorful cast shine.
