    About this series

    It is a truth universally acknowledged that ghost brides make annoying romantic rivals.

     

    Making her reluctant return to London after a ten-year absence, Tessa Preston cannot hide her dismay at her employer's friendliness with Jasper Steele, the man who chased her away. To make matters more annoying, he's haunted by a most insistent ghost bride.

     

    Determined to prove her indifference to the charming Jasper, Tessa realizes the entitled ghost demanding his attention may not be all she seems. Meanwhile, unaware of Tessa's enmity, Jasper is delighted to have a second chance at her affections, and will let nothing, not even her cold stares, dampen his enthusiasm.

     

    A Spirited Engagement is a cozy Victorian fantasy featuring sweet romance, annoying ghosts, found family, and a plucky BIPOC heroine kicking butt in all her finery surrounded by whimsical fun.

      It was a truth universally ignored, most principally by the dowager Dame Hartwell, that ghosts and gatherings did not mix. Approximately 5,500 words or 22 printed pages. For fans of Charlie N. Holmberg, Olivia Atwater, Tilly Wallace, and C. J. Archer!   In this short story, the fashionable and eccentric dowager Dame Hartwell has lured the reclusive Miss Tessa Preston to attend her drawing room séance. If Dame Hartwell can't convince Miss Preston, her former protégé, to return as her medium-in-residence, she doesn't know how she will protect her son and his new fiancé from the brewing storm of malcontent spirits surrounding them.   "Miss Preston's Predicament" is a short story between novels by Belinda Kroll. This story can be read as a standalone... but it includes characters and references events from her full-length historical fantasy novel, Haunting Miss Trentwood, the first book in the Hesitant Mediums series.   Read this story for a fun, light read featuring historical (gaslamp) fantasy, Victorian comedy of manners, and plucky feminine ghost hunter a la Pride & Prejudice and Zombies.
