Synopsis: I have no idea till the end what a book's title is - they title themselves

A young chiropractor deals with both family and professional strain in the form of a domineering grandfather with the aid of a man she shouldn't be falling for, and a ghost she's sure isn't real.

Excerpt: I have no idea till the end what a book's title is - they title themselves

“¿Como estas, señorita? Or is it señora?”
“I don’t speak Spanish.”
She could tell him what he should and shouldn’t do, without citing her authority for knowing it. Maybe he’d listen, and maybe he’d forget her name, and stay away. What Granddad didn't know couldn’t hurt him. Keeping him in the dark was less wicked than following cold rules in this case, in the case of a man who’d saved her life.
“You should speak Spanish, it’s your heritage.”
“Really? How’s your German?”
“Touche, Teddy Sanchez.”
Crap. There was no way he was going to forget her name.
