It seems pretty specific to me, but maybe there are lots of these kinds of stories out there that I just don&#8217;t know about. But there is a series that comes immediately to mind, and that is the Rachel Morgan series by Kim Harrison. In this series, there is a character, Pierce, \u00a0a ghost of a man who was burned for being a witch, \u00a0who has a long and complicated relationship with Rachel (really, everyone in the series has a long and complicated relationship with Rachel, unless they get killed, and sometimes even that&#8217;s not enough).<\/p>\n<p>There are two possibilities in the series. The first is a short story, &#8221; Two Ghosts for Sister Rachel&#8221;, \u00a0the story in which 18-year old Rachel first meets Pierce. I haven&#8217;t read this, so I don&#8217;t know whether sex is actually involved, but in the books she refers to Pierce as the one against whom she has measured all other relationships, \u00a0and it&#8217;s a story rather than a novel, so maybe that&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n<p>The other is the novel <em>Black Magic Sanction.<\/em> This is novel length, and as with most Rachel Morgan books, there are all kinds of craziness involving a rather large cast of characters, but it does feature Pierce and Rachel spending a night together.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As a side note, I have read the novels in the Rachel Morgan series, and Rachel drives me batty. But the world Harrison created is a really neat one, and the secondary characters are just great. There&#8217;s a good chance that urban fantasy readers will be hooked, at least for the first half of the series.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have an interesting request from a reader : I&#8217;m looking for story about a woman who has sex with a ghost of a man who was burned for being a witch. &nbsp; Hard to say if this is a type of story the reader is looking for, or a particular one.
