It is a truth universally ignored that sons abhor being sent to séances in search of a wife.

Short story leading into A Spirited Engagement

For fans of Olivia Atwater, Tilly Wallace, and Charlie N. Holmberg

In this short story (approx. 4,000 words) Jasper Steele has had enough of ghosts to last him a lifetime, so why is he attending a séance? Mostly to appease his mother, who worries about his head and his heart after his summer in the English countryside getting rejected by Mary Trentwood.

Eloise Carterprice has never been one to let a good opportunity escape her, so it's only natural that her ghost appears during the latest séance hosted by her mother.

Will Jasper find a bit of romance? Will Eloise have her bit of fun? Read on, dear Reader, read on!

This is a short story bridge between Haunting Miss Trentwood and upcoming A Spirited Engagement. It is a companion to "Miss Preston's Predicament."
