Ghost of a Chance

From Booklist
Kudos for Zebra's Debut line for new romance writers, and bravo for Fitzpatrick, who has written a delightfully humorous and innocent romantic mystery. Kiely Davlin knows she is setting herself up for trouble when she takes the job of choreographer and saloon slut in a revival performance of the melodrama Bad Business on the Brazos at a historic Dallas theater because Bad Business has always been cursed. Three members of the original cast, who performed 100 years ago, may have been murdered. The last performance, 50 years ago, resulted in the shooting death onstage of hunky and talented Don Mueller, who was playing the villain Nick Nefarious. With accidents, a near beheading of the leading man, visits from Don's ghost, and handsome Rafe Montez, who plays Nick, turning up in the darnedest places, it's obvious that everything that can go wrong will. Fitzpatrick has created some charmingly quirky characters and an effectively combined mystery plot with a "clean" happily-ever-after romance. Diana Tixier Herald

Book Description
When dancer and choreographer Kiely Davlin is offered a job featuring six straight men in the cast plus free Tex-Mex food, she signs on the dotted line and dusts off her dance shoes. She knows Bad Business on the Brazos is sure to be a hit. But she doesn't expect a ghost problem. As in the ghost of Don Mueller, the actor who was killed during the last performance of this show fifty years ago. He's flirting with Kiely in a spectral kind of way...and a ghost can make interesting things happen to a girl. Like the gorgeous man on stage with her: Rafe Montez, her secret crush--also known as He Whose Perfect Profile Should Be on a Coin. Kiely's friend Lida thinks Rafe is only acting, but that kiss he and Kiely share in Act II sure feels real to her!
