You're So Dead to Me
What do you do when three hot, possessive ghosts want to jump your bones?
I’m Bree, and I see dead people.
Not all dead people. Only those with unfinished business. They’re everywhere – I’ll be eating my breakfast and a poisoned heiress glares over my Cheerios, and I can’t even enjoy the wilderness without being accosted by chattering ex-hikers who don’t understand which mushrooms are edible.
I’ve returned to my hometown of Grimdale to cat-sit for my parents while I plan my next move. I’m looking forward to raiding their fridge, hanging out with their two mischievous kittens, and staying far, far away from anything supernatural.
But I forgot that I’m never alone in Grimdale.
The three ghosts I used to play with as a kid are back in my life again. Only now I’m their age and they’re infuriatingly attractive.
There’s the slightly psychotic Roman soldier who loves the Great British Bake Off, the bossy, aristocratic royal prince who demands the finer things in life (er, death), and the blind Victorian gentleman adventurer who doesn’t have a mean bone in his body (or any bones, for that matter).
But my three ghoulish houseguests are the least of my problems. I’ve landed a job giving tours of the historic Grimdale Cemetery, and on my very first day, I stumble into a fresh corpse.
The dead guy’s ghost needs me to solve his murder so he can cross over, but sticking my nose into spirit business might see me to an early grave.
As for my three hauntingly hot friends? It turns out their unfinished business…is me.
You’re So Dead to Me is the first in a darkly humorous paranormal romance series by bestselling author Steffanie Holmes. If you love a sarcastic heroine, hot, possessive and slightly unhinged ghostly men, a mystery to solve, and a little kooky, spooky lovin’ to set your coffin a rockin’, then quit ghouling around and start reading!

Cozy Pairings
Speakeasy is a rich and layered fragrance that opens with warm spice and soft smoke, blending cardamom, incense, and pimento berry. At its heart, notes of saffron, plum blossom, and tobacco leaves create a deep and slightly sweet warmth, while hints of licorice add a subtle intrigue. The scent settles into a smooth, lingering base of palo santo, patchouli, vanilla, and dark chocolate, bringing a soft sweetness to its darker edges. Complex and atmospheric, this fragrance feels warm, enveloping, and quietly captivating.
Why we chose this: Bree Mortimer can see dead people, and the three ghosts she used to play with as a child have grown up into infuriatingly attractive men with unfinished business that turns out, improbably, to be her. Between cemetery tours, fresh corpses, resurrection magic, and a Roman centurion who loves the Great British Bake Off, this series is darkly funny, warmly strange, and entirely its own thing. Speakeasy carries the layered, slightly forbidden atmosphere of a world where the living and the dead keep finding their way into each other's business, rich with smoky warmth and the deep sweetness of something that should be complicated but feels entirely, irresistibly right. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle as Bree steps into Grimdale Cemetery on her first day of work, and let the atmospheric richness fill the room like a graveyard on a warm evening where the company is better than it has any right to be.
