Kappa Companion — Margaret L. Carter

Two years after her husband's sudden death, Heidi hopes to make a fresh start with a new love and a new home. But she hasn't planned on sharing her century-old house with her son's not-so-imaginary friends—a ghost child and a Japanese water monster. Jeff, the man she's dating, definitely wants to marry her. Yet how can his scientific rationalism accept Heidi's belief in paranormal forces? If the alleged haunting turns out to be real, he'll have to change his entire worldview. Can their love flourish while coping with an exotic supernatural infestation? At least the creatures aren't dangerous—or are they?
