The Life Of Reilly
Sue Civil-Brown
Mills & Boon M&B
Lynn Reilly has landed her dream job as a schoolteacher on beautiful Treasure Island.She should be happy as a clam, but someone is keeping her from enjoying her new life. Her nutty aunt Delphine is determined to set her up with her very eligible (and very cute) neighbor, Reverend Jack Marks. The only problem is…Delphine is a ghost.A meddling aunt is one thing. A relative stirring up trouble from the grave is quite another. Especially when Delphine's matchmaking shenanigans include trickery, humiliation and an alligator named Buster! But with all Delphine's outrageous haunting high jinks, it looks as if Lynn and Mark won't stand a ghost of a chance!

The Life of Reilly
To Buster, who spent some time in my koi pond and didn’t
eat the fish. The fish thank you.
To African gray parrots everywhere. You talk, but
we don’t listen. Well, except for a handful of scientists…
And thanks to Discover magazine for teaching me
that African grays really do talk intelligently,
although not as rudely as a certain bird.
And thereby hangs the tale.

CHAPTER ONE
“I TAKE IT YOU weren’t satisfied to be quantum consciousness dispersed through eleven dimensions?”
Lynn Reilly stood in the living room of her little bungalow, the tropical breeze of Treasure Island blowing through open windows and screened doors. The furnishings, though sparse, were wicker with brightly colored pillows. Curtains matching the pillow covers—which Lynn had made herself—tossed gently in the breeze.
It should have been an idyllic evening scene: tropical breeze perfumed by exotic flowers, the sound of the surf in the distance, the sun settling low in the sky and casting a golden glow everywhere it touched.
Should have been being the operative phrase.
Lynn had forgotten all that beauty because she was standing in the doorway of the room staring at her Aunt Delphine.
Delphine looked pretty darn good. As if she’d had a face lift. Nothing exaggerated, just enough to take a few years off. Her skin tone was great, too. Lynn would have given her right arm to achieve that particular satiny rosy look.
So Delphine looked great. The only problem was, she shouldn’t have been standing in Lynn’s living room.
