Witches & Ghosts
Cara wants to prove ghosts are real - then she finds one. He's willing to help Cara on one condition: date his sister out of her depression. A supernatural LGBT love triangle, filled with sparky humour and spooky romance.
Seventeen-year-old Cara is an aspiring ghost hunter, determined to show she’s more than a high school outcast by finding proof of the supernatural. Then she stumbles upon the spirit of Aiden, a popular boy who died a year ago. Yet Aiden has his own plan to help his reclusive sister Meredith recover from his death. And he’s decided Cara’s the girl for the job.
Cara agrees to ask Meredith out in exchange for Aiden helping her prove there’s life beyond death. No dates, no ghost. Wooing the standoffish Meredith isn’t going to be easy, however. With Aiden’s coaching, Cara slowly wins Meredith over – and finds herself really falling for her in the process. But all that time spent scheming with Aiden gives her feelings for him too. Can Cara carry on dating and deceiving Meredith – or will she have to give up the ghost?
