Overview :

Olivia
My magic allows me to bestow good luck to customers who buy my charmed wine. But I accidentally poisoned my entire ghostly support group. Here I am, watching everyone’s luck curdle like cheap merlot, completely at blame. After one tiny mistake my customers are failing tests, getting fired or being chased through the vineyard by a flock of angry geese. Now I have only weeks until the bad luck becomes permanent or worse– spreads to other towns. I need someone to cosign a business loan so I can afford to fix this mess and start fresh. Enter, Beck Vennum. But the only way he’s willing to help is if I pretend to date him. Between dodging my own ridiculous misfortunes and realizing Beck’s annoying smirk has turned into a rather charming smile, I’m starting to think I might be the unluckiest Fuzer in North Carolina. Though if one more person suggests this is all happening because Beck and I have “unresolved tension,” I’m going to need to transform them into a wine cork.

Speaking to ghosts on the daily isn’t exactly how I plan to spend my thirties. But here I am, being stalked by the spirit of my great aunt—former matchmaker—who has decided I need to experience “true love” before she’ll rest in peace. When Olivia Tristan, local winery owner, comes to me for help, I only agree if she pretends to date me. All I have to do is tie my name to hers in a risky investment that might cost me my livelihood if she fails. So dating Olivia long enough to satisfy my aunt isn’t my only goal anymore. Now I need to make sure Olivia’s business thrives so my bank account doesn’t tank. The worst part? I’m starting to think the match making idea might actually work. Because when Olivia’s frown vanishes, I forget this is supposed to be pretend.
