To say that life isn't going as planned for Gettysburg ghost tour operator Faith Reynolds is a bit of an understatement. Nicknamed "Miss Mouse" because of her lack of self-confidence, Faith is facing the possible loss of her business. She's also being pressured to date a man she's not interested in just to please her father, and watching the man she's secretly been in love with for years possibly end up as some other woman's arm candy. Unfortunately, she also sees no way to change her current situation.
Fellow ghost tour operator Alex Lafayette was once the poor kid from the wrong side of the tracks. Now he's wealthy, successful, and fielding more offers than he can possibly handle. Despite the best efforts of the women in town, he's also very much alone because the woman he wants doesn't seem to want him in return. Though Alex has been in love with Faith since they were kids, he's convinced she sees him as nothing more than a friend. Until one afternoon, unexpected sparks begin to fly between them.
Desperate to change her life and snag a date with Alex, Faith begs her best friend, Kara Ford, to cast a so-called "boyfriend spell" to hopefully solve at least one of her problems. Once the spell is cast, Faith feels like a new woman – literally! She's bold and confident, sexy and brash, and, oh yeah, has managed to snare Alex as the promised boyfriend. However, as the two grow closer both personally and professionally, Faith is forced to wonder if their relationship is simply the result of magic or if what she's found with Alex is really true love that could last a lifetime? Assuming he never finds out about The Boyfriend Spell, of course!
