About Happily Ever Afterlife:

A hauntingly good sapphic paranormal romance from USA Today bestselling author Emma R. Alban.

A struggling writer falls for the hot ghost mom she meets in the iconic Dakota Building in a romance perfect for fans of The Dead Romantics.
Frannie’s awful boss, celebrated literary novelist Henry L. Olsen, just told her that her latest manuscript is a dud—again. Frustrated and lonely, Frannie stomps around the ninth floor of the famously haunted Dakota Building in Manhattan, desperate for change.
And then Bridgette, the ghost of a little girl, appears and asks Frannie to play catch. Shocked, Frannie agrees and soon meets Bridgette’s ghost brother, Michael...and the children’s exceedingly attractive and aloof ghost mom, Elsa.
Fascinated and more than a little flustered, Frannie starts writing a book about Elsa (a.k.a. Hot Ghost Mom). While her boss is on a book tour, Frannie and Elsa slowly become friends, which blossoms into something more.
To stay with Elsa and the kids, Frannie has to either give up her ambitions of becoming a novelist or somehow free her ghost family from their immortal home. Can Frannie find a way to
write them all a happily-ever-after...life?
