You did it! We figured this one out! It is a truth universally acknowledged (by me for certain) that the Bitchery pretty much knows everything, and really, it's true. Scroll down to see the solution for this HaBO - and many thanks!
This HaBO is from Nikki, who is looking for this Scribd title. Trigger warning for the description below:
I have a book I’ve been trying to find that I’m starting to believe may have been a dream. However, I’m pretty sure I read it on Scribd maybe 5+ years ago.
I’m pretty sure the heroine was possibly a nurse with an annoying boss/coworker who died. She was struck by lightning I think at his funeral or when they were spreading ashes and was able to see or hear his ghost after that. The hero is alive and may have been Asian. They end up getting pregnant and she has a miscarriage (or is worried about it because she had in the past).
Unfortunately I don’t remember most of the plot, but I think the heroine was insecure about her appearance and would wear black a lot.
Not a lot to go off of, but surprisingly googling “heroine struck by lightning” isn’t pulling up a lot, so I’d thought I’d give HaBO a try!

I think this may be SHAKING OFF THE DUST by Rhianna Samuels. Sounds like it from the blurb.
“When Hannah Campbell attends a memorial service for the neurosurgeon who once saved her life, the last thing she expects is a lightning strike that knocks her out cold and blasts her lungs full of the departed’s ashes. Things only get weirder when she wakes up to find the deceased standing over her hospital bed, insisting she help him track down the terrorists who blew up his plane.”
The only book/series I can think of in which the female lead has been struck by lightning is The Harper Connelly Mysteries, a series of fantasy mystery novels written by Charlaine Harris. It does not match the description otherwise.
@JudyW Oh my god! That’s totally it! Thank you for finding it 🙂
We all bow before @JudyW! It truly amazes me the breadth of knowledge SBTB commenters have!
OMG this book sounds absolutely bananas! I’m reading the blurb thinking this sounds like a cute paranormal rom-com akin to the movie Just Like Heaven (Reese Witherspoon + Mark Ruffalo) and I might add it to my list. Then out of left field…terrorists! In a million years, I would not have seen that combination coming!
It is indeed a truth universally acknowledged that the y’all pretty much know everything. Thank you for solving this one!
This sounds very similar to a book published prior to the demise of Samhain publishing. The heroine was at a scattering ceremony and accidentally inhaled some of the cremains. Don’t remember title or author, that’s age catching up with me 😉 After inhaling the ashes, she could she and interact with the H. It was a mystery or women’s fiction, she had to figure out who killed him, with his help.
