Elara has spent her life being overlooked. By men who never truly see her. By a family that loves her, but rarely hears her. By a world that expects her to accept less and be grateful for it. Working nights at a funeral home, surrounded by the dead, is the only place she feels calm—until something in the shadows begins to watch her back. Theron is a wraith, bound to the space between life and death. Cold to the touch. Starved for connection. Dangerous in his devotion. Where others have dismissed Elara, Theron sees her—every quiet ache, every hidden longing. His touch makes her feel alive in ways no living man ever has. As desire deepens into obsession, Elara is forced to choose between the safety of the living world and the intoxicating pull of a love that defies death itself. Because loving a wraith doesn't promise forever… only a passion that lingers.
