OUR WRITERS MEAN BUSINESS 
Beth Prince has always loved fairytales and now, aged twenty-four, she feels like she's finally on the verge of her own happily ever after.
She lives by the seaside, works in the Picturebox - a charming but rundown independent cinema - and has a boyfriend who's so debonair and charming she can't believe her luck!
There's just one problem - none of her boyfriends have ever told her they love her and it doesn't look like Aiden's going to say it any time soon. Desperate to hear 'I love you' for the first time Beth takes matters into her own hands - and instantly wishes she hadn't.
Just when it seems like her luck can't get any worse, bad news arrives in the devilishly handsome shape of Matt Jones. Matt is the regional director of a multiplex cinema and he's determined to get his hands on the Picturebox by Christmas.
Can Beth keep her job, her man and her home or is her romantic-comedy life about to turn into a disaster movie?

'What would I do without you, Lucy Brown?' he said, and kissed
me softly. I held his face in my hands and kissed him back. I felt that
life just couldn't get any more perfect. And I was right, it wouldn't. By
the end of the next day, I'd be dead.
Lucy is about to marry the man of her dreams - kind, handsome, funny
Dan - when she breaks her neck the night before their wedding. Unable to
accept a lifetime's separation from her soulmate, Lucy decides to become
a ghost rather than go to heaven and be parted from Dan.
But it turns out things aren't quite as easy as that. When Lucy discovers
that Limbo is a grotty student-style house in North London she's less than
thrilled. Especially after meeting her new flatmates: grumpy, cider-swilling
EMO-kid Claire; and Brian, a train-spotter with a Thomas the Tank Engine
duvet and a big BO problem. But Lucy has a more major problem on her hands
- if she wants to become a ghost and be with Dan she has to complete an
almost impossible task. How the hell does a girl like Lucy find a girlfriend
for the dorkiest man in England? IT geek Archie's only passions are multi-player
computer games and his Grandma.
But Lucy only has twenty-one days to find him love. And when she discovers
that her so-called friend Anna is determined to make a move on the heart-broken,
vulnerable Dan, the pressure is really on...
