Mariah Talbot seems to lead a charmed life. Successful and talented, she is an interior designer in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood and, by all accounts, is fulfilling her dreams. But appearances can be deceiving. Few people know the truth about her tragic past and why she guards her heart so fiercely, or the fact she is still very much in love with a ghost.
Andrew Madden is a partner in one of Boston's elite law firms. Bracing himself for a confrontation on his commute to work one morning, the last thing he expects is to be captivated by the woman who emerges from her car. Mariah is unlike any woman he has ever met, and their attraction is instant. But as he soon discovers, there is much more to her than meets the eye. He clings to the hope that with time, she will come to trust him completely.
But time is precious and fleeting. Neither of them could have predicted the bizarre twist of fate that alters the course of their lives forever. Only when Andrew embarks on his own journey, unraveling the haunting secrets of Mariah's past, does he finally come to understand that love never dies...and neither does the soul.

“Bluni weaves a marvelous tale, subtly lighting upon topics such as grief and loss, reconciliation, forgiveness, going forward as healing takes place, and what may lie beyond the boundaries of our five senses. I was immediately pulled into the story and couldn’t put the book down until I had devoured every page. Some of those “bizarre twists” caught me by surprise — not an easy thing to do — and I confess, I gasped when I read them.”
“I knew I would be intrigued and most likely enjoy my time with it. What I didn’t expect was to fully fall in love with it. If the little blurb about the story was interesting and inviting, the full story is intoxicating and impossible to put down.”
