The Reluctant Ghost

This is the charming tale of Sir Harry, the ghost, and the lovers of Steadford Abbey he must bring together. Although this book takes a while to get going, the characters are charming (especially the irritated but earnest Harry) and the plot is fun. Harry must bring together the granddaughter of bitter Lady Agatha (who has been dumped on by every man she ever knew) and the man who bought her home from under her. Sheila Rosalynd Allen's (aka Sheila O'Hallion) writing is especially strong with the dialogue and the believeable romance. Look to the next three books for more of an enjoyable romp (#2 "Meddlesome Ghost," #3 "Helpful Ghost," #4 "Passionate Ghost").
