Love Like a Curse by Mira Lyn Kelly

A ghosty, witchy, spell-casty Halloween love story…

Bar owner Kayla Sloane knows she has it good. Too good to complain about anything as trivial as her big brother’s over-protective streak or poor impulse control when it comes to judging her dates. After all, the guy’s a ghost—it’s not like his life turned out the way he planned either.
So Kayla can’t date. So what. The only man to make her want more moved away the day she met him, and a year later, she’s accepted her lack of love life for what it is.

Her meddling wanna-be-witch little sister though? Not so much.
Rafe Carpenter is a haunted man. For more than a year, he’s dreamed of Kayla’s smile, her laugh, and her sexy kiss. Now he’s back in Chicago, looking for a second chance with the woman he’s sure is The One.

Only Kayla isn’t convinced. She’s got a few concerns, including her non-traditional family. But Rafe’s a see-it-to-believe it guy, he’s not seeing anything but how right they are together. Now he just needs to convince her…
