Dead Set on You - by Lexi Alexander (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A woman wakes up as a spirit in her rival coworker's apartment in this charming contemporary romance for fans of The Dead Romantics and The Hating Game.

As workaholic Evie Pope nears thirty, she's determined to slow down and start enjoying the "life" part of work-life balance. With a major promotion--and the financial security that comes with it--on the horizon, she might finally have her chance. But when she wakes up as a spirit in her work rival's apartment and learns her body is stuck in a coma, her plans are officially DOA.

Being a spirit is bad enough. Discovering that Rafael Vela--the man who used to be her friend and is now her biggest rival--is the only person who can help her? It's a special kind of purgatory. In no position to negotiate, she strikes a desperate deal: He gets the promotion if he helps reunite Evie's spirit with her body.

As they begin to spend more time together, Evie discovers there's more to Rafael than his bedroom eyes and his hey-there dimpled smile. With only a week until Evie's body is transferred to long-term care and out of Rafael's reach, Evie must choose between trusting the man who betrayed her years ago and figuring things out the way she's always done it: alone.

This contemporary romance with a paranormal twist blends heated banter, old grudges, and unfinished business, perfect for anyone who believes in second chances.
