George Mfum never planned on inheriting a haunted mansion. But when a mysterious letter delivers him the keys to his late uncle’s eerie Victorian estate, George finds himself face-to-face with more than just cobwebs and creaky floorboards—he meets Amara, a sharp-tongued ghost with a flair for drama and a century-old grudge.
As George struggles to turn the crumbling mansion into a livable home, he crosses paths with Lydia Nkansah, a brilliant and bold civil engineer sent to help with the renovations. Sparks fly between them, but Amara isn’t ready to let George go—or share her house with the living.
Caught between the living and the dead, George must navigate ghostly tantrums, haunted plumbing, a romantic tug-of-war, and secrets buried deep within the attic floorboards. Along the way, he uncovers Amara’s tragic past, learns the real meaning of letting go, and discovers that love—whether haunted or human—can be terrifying, ridiculous, and completely worth it.
Darkly funny, emotionally tender, and delightfully strange, Dead Serious About Love is a horror-romcom that proves sometimes, the scariest thing in a haunted house... is falling in love.
