Since the day Lacey Reed was cinched into her costume stays, working at Spring Creek living museum has made her happier than she ever thought she could be in small-town Beechworth. When her best friend and co-worker Jen Fraser proposed that they settle down together, Lacey had readily agreed—Jen adored Lacey's seven-year-old daughter, and the life Jen offered was more than Lacey could ever have dreamed. But there's just one small problem. Lacey has carried a torch for Jen for eight agonizing years. She just didn't think that, four months into their engagement, Jen would still be completely oblivious to the fact that she set Lacey's heart twitching in her chest every time she so much as stepped into the same room. When a ghost from the past arrives in Beechworth, suddenly, what once seemed like a simple arrangement becomes far more complicated than they ever imagined.
