The Dead Romantics: Sprayed Edge Collector’s Edition by Ashley Poston (Hardback)

Florence Day has spent ten years running from her past—and from love. As a successful ghostwriter for one of the biggest romance authors in the industry, she has mastered writing happily-ever-afters she no longer believes in. After a painful breakup, Florence’s faith in love has all but died. But when her new editor refuses to grant an extension on her latest deadline, she is forced to face both her career and her doubts head-on.

Then comes the call she dreaded: her father has passed, and Florence must return home to her small Southern town for the first time in a decade. The place that once felt suffocating now brings memories of family, warmth, and a life she thought she left behind. But nothing is quite what she expected. Amidst the grief and familiar streets, Florence encounters a ghost—a broad-shouldered, infuriatingly handsome presence tied to her past in ways she cannot yet understand.

As she navigates the funeral, family obligations, and the eerie mysteries surrounding the spirit, Florence is forced to confront her feelings about love, loss, and what it truly means to come home. What starts as a reluctant return becomes a journey of rediscovery, second chances, and the possibility that romance—both living and dead—may not be as far away as she believed.
