Raphaela Tucci, Ralph to those who know and love her, beloved former first-grade teacher, newly minted bookstore owner, and ever the optimist is dead . . . Dead. Not only is she dead, she's a ghost. It's hard to be optimistic when your life tragically ends the moment you begin to live your dream. But Ralph tries anyway, even as she finds herself stuck in Nina's big castle. Ralph doesn't know how she ended up where she landed, but after a week of floating silently unseen through room after room, she doesn't understand why her destiny isn't even close to what she's read in books and seen in movies.

Enter Shamus Ransom, the biggest (hottest) silver-fox elf she's ever seen with the ability to see and communicate with ghosts. He's been hired by Nina to eliminate the funny smell the vampire's positive is a ghost. What he finds is a beautiful, stuck ghost with a heart of gold and an optimistic outlook he's never seen in an entity. As he tries to find out why Ralph is stuck and categorize what type of ghost she is, he also finds himself falling in deep like with her. Getting involved is absolutely out of the question. But as Shamus and the women of OOPS try and figure out what happened on the night Ralph was killed and why she's cemented on this plane, there are dangerous entities gunning for Ralph and they won't stop until she's locked away in Hell—forever . . .
