A Treasure of One's Own, by Lydia San Andres

This has been sitting on my ereader for ages and tbh I don't even know when/how I acquired it or how I heard of it. I thought it was a novel but it turns out to be novelette-length. Anyway it's a charming and light little historical romance about a woman named Socorro who decides to up her desirability as a houseguest by cultivating a skill in leading seances, which is made more complicated for her when an actual ghost unexpectedly shows up at her first attempt. I immediately wanted the story to be a romance between Socorro and the lady pirate ghost, but unfortunately that relationship is just a friendship, and the actual romance is het between two living people. Anyway, nothing amazingly groundbreaking or anything, but a fun story to read!
