About this book

Simone finds comfort in the dust-mote silence of her inherited bookstore, living a life defined by quiet solitude and the weight of unvoiced longing. In the secluded town of Briarwood Hollow, her world is a sanctuary of paper and memory, until a mysterious woman named Nyssa crosses her threshold. Nyssa is not a stranger, but a soul tethered to Simone across centuries, driven by an ancient, insatiable hunger that refuses to be silenced by the passage of time.

This atmospheric ghost story masterfully blends the ethereal with the carnal. As a slow-burn paranormal romance, the novella excels in building tension, transforming the simple brush of a hand into an electrifying act of recognition. Nyssa’s arrival ignites a sensual unraveling, forcing Simone to confront the deep, dormant parts of herself that have been waiting for a love that spans lifetimes.

Perfect for readers seeking a hauntingly beautiful escape, this story is as much about the ache of grief as it is about the fire of desire. It is a lyrical, spicy exploration of fate and devotion, capturing a love that is both terrifying and tender. If you crave a quick, evocative read that lingers in the shadows, this is your next obsession.

LOVED IT

November 2, 2025

I loved this quick, spicy read. I was pleasantly surprised by what happened. Simone was lonely and grieving until she ran into Nyssa. Nyssa was a woman who knew exactly what she wanted, and that was Simone. I loved the aspect of them being soul mates in each lifetime. I'm a sucker for soul mates, and this one hit the mark. The spicy in this book was HOT. The chase scene was hands down my favorite. This author always doesn't disappoint me with her books. ) One person found this helpful
