Andie Miller is ready to move on with her life. She wants to marry her fiancé and leave behind everything in her past, especially her ex-husband, North Archer. But when Andie tries to gain closure with him, he asks one final favor of her. A distant cousin has died and left North the guardian of two orphans who have driven away three nannies already, and things are getting worse. He needs someone to take care of the situation, and he knows Andie can handle anything....
When Andie meets the two children, she realizes the situation is much worse than she feared. Carter and Alice aren’t your average delinquents, and the creepy old house where they live is being run by the worst housekeeper since Mrs. Danvers. Complicating matters is Andie’s fiancé’s suspicion that this is all a plan by North to get Andie back. He may be right because Andie’s dreams have been haunted by North since she arrived at the old house. And that’s not the only haunting....
Then her ex-brother-in-law arrives with a duplicitous journalist and a self-doubting parapsychologist, closely followed by an annoyed medium, Andie’s tarot card–reading mother, her avenging ex-mother-in-law, and her jealous fiancé. Just when Andie’s sure things couldn’t get more complicated, North arrives to make her wonder if maybe this time things could just turn out differently....

"I liked this book. I have read a couple of others by Jennifer Cruisie and enjoyed them, but this is my favorite so far. This is a light-hearted romance-ish book with a supernatural twist, but it is not an in-your-face ghost story. It's mostly about a woman facing her issues in her relationships with others, like her mom, her ex-husband (that she still loves and gave up too easily), her in-laws, and two children who have entered her life. This book does not take itself too seriously and the plot moves well, there is no dwelling on the same issues over and over. I read this over a period of a week and probably stayed up too late last night finishing it."
