Histria Books is pleased to announce the release of My Lady Ghost by June Calvin. This story is published by Histria Romance, an imprint of Histria Books dedicated to outstanding books in the romance genre.
In My Lady Ghost, a fiercely independent young widow and a brooding Marquess clash over societal expectations before being thrown together on a chaotic hunt for a legendary family treasure. Allison Weatherby refuses to become the convenient mistress of Thorne D’Aumont, preferring the hard road to self reliance. But when the actual ghost of Silverthorne Castle begins leaving clues to a hidden fortune, the two must navigate crumbling tunnels, armed rivals, and their own stubborn pride.
What makes this historical romance feel so remarkably fresh is how it balances real emotional stakes with delightful, unpredictable adventure. Allison is a wonderfully grounded protagonist who values her autonomy over an aristocratic rescue. The story leans into classic gothic tropes but subverts them with sharp wit, throwing in hidden passageways, bumbling sidekicks, and a surprisingly aggressive flock of guardian geese. It is a smart, lively book that delivers romantic tension wrapped in a treasure hunt that refuses to take itself too seriously. Readers are currently hungry for spirited heroines who upend the traditional Regency rulebook, and this novel delivers exactly that kind of joyful rebellion.
June Calvin is the author of twelve Regency romances, including her debut novel, The Baron and the Bookseller, which won the Romance Writers of America’s Golden Heart award in 1993. Before finding her true calling as a novelist, Calvin held a diverse array of professional roles, drawing on experiences as a teacher, public relations professional, newspaper reporter, and museum educator. She currently resides in Oklahoma with her husband of 62 years, where she enjoys life near her son, daughter-in-love, and young grandson.
