The Ghost of Christmas Love: A Novel About Second Chances, Impossible Love, and the Courage to Begin Again, (Paperback)

<p><b>What if the only person who could teach you about love... has been dead for 142 years?</b></p><p>Evelyn Hart writes romance novels for a living. The irony? She stopped believing in love eight months ago-right around the time her fiancé abandoned her at the altar in front of 300 people.</p><p>Now she's hiding in her Brooklyn apartment, staring at blank pages, with a deadline two weeks away and absolutely no faith in happy endings.</p><p><b>Then her grandmother's mysterious Victorian locket changes everything.</b></p><p>The moment Evelyn clasps it around her neck, he appears: Thomas Whitmore, a heartbreakingly handsome gentleman from 1883 who died on Christmas Eve with ice in his lungs and regret in his heart.</p><p>He's been cursed for 142 years. Trapped in a locket. Bound to wander as a ghost until he can prove that love-real, devastating, impossible love-actually matters.</p><p><b>His only way out? Make Evelyn believe in love again.</b></p><p>But there's a problem: Evelyn has built walls so high that even a Victorian ghost can't scale them. She's perfected the art of running from anything that feels like vulnerability. And she has exactly 14 days until Christmas Eve-when Thomas's curse becomes permanent, and her book deadline expires.</p><p><b>Then she literally crashes into James Morrison.</b></p><p>He's a bookstore owner with terrible coffee, a brilliant smile, and the dangerous habit of being completely honest about his feelings. He reads her books. He makes her laugh. He sees through every defense she's built.</p><p>And for the first time since the wedding disaster, Evelyn feels something other than fear.</p><p><b>But love has never been simple. And this time, it's impossibly complicated.</b></p><p>Because Thomas is teaching her that real love isn't about safety-it's about bravery. It's about choosing someone even when it terrifies you. It's about letting people in, even when you know they have the power to destroy you.</p><p>And just when Evelyn finally opens her heart... she discovers that the greatest act of love might be letting go.</p><p><b>"The most emotionally devastating romance I've read in years.
