Synopsis

Fed up with her moody teenage daughter, Meg Addams decides what they both need is a good dose of suburban wholesomeness. But when they leave Manhattan behind for Meg's humble blue-collar hometown, they find it crowded with wealthy strangers and upscale boutiques. Settling into a creaky fixer-upper, Meg finally spots a familiar face right next door--and it belongs to none other than Sam Rooney. The would-be love of Meg's high school life is now a single dad, her daughter's new soccer coach--and a neighborly ghost-buster whenever things go bump in the night. With three kids and an undeniable attraction between them, Meg and Sam are in for some heart-racing, wee-hour encounters that have nothing to do with spirits...but everything to do with hearts.

About this title

About the Author:

"Wendy Markham" is a psedonym for New York Times
bestselling author Wendy Corsi Staub, who has several
awards, including RWA's "Rita," and published more than
sixty novels under her own name and various pseudonyms.
A happily married mother of two, she lives in an old house
in a picturesque New York City suburb very much like the
fictional Glenhaven Park. There, she is surrounded by
Soccer Moms, Yoga moms, yes, a couple of Fancy Moms,
and perhaps even a resident ghost or two--but most importantly,
a wonderful network of cherished friends and neighbors.

From Publishers Weekly:

Faced with a fading Broadway career and a rebellious 15-year-old daughter, single mom Meg Addams decides to move from New York to her hometown 50 miles away. Against the advice of her gay best friend Geoffrey, she drags her protesting teenager, Cosette, to Glenhaven Park, N.Y., where shockingly high real estate prices leave her with only one option: a haunted house. Fortunately, the real estate comes with not just a ghost but also a hunky next-door neighbor from Meg's past: widower Sam Rooney, for whom she suffered an unrequited high school crush. Thrown together by their kids (he's a high school teacher as well as a soccer coach), their mutual attraction and things that go bump in the night, the pair are soon waging a futile battle against their romantic instincts. Rita Award–winning author Markham (If Only in My Dreams), a pseudonym for Wendi Corsi Staub (Don't Scream), provides a fast-moving, ultralight take on single parenthood, suburban sex and keeping up with the soccer moms that should please chick lit fans; anyone seeking depth should look elsewhere.
