The gift was Emily Smith’s curse, and she’d have killed herself long ago if her mother hadn’t died giving birth to her autistic sister. The baby needed her, and that was enough to keep Emily in the world. She’d never known peace in her life; the curse kept them isolated and on the move as they sought to flee the spirits of the dead.
In the middle of the night, a flash of light and loud explosion awakened her from sleep, and Emily stepped out onto her porch to the most handsome man she’d ever seen walking towards her. The only problem was that he was so close to death his soul had come to her for final release.
Caught between the worlds of life and death, Koda finds his spirit wandering in a shadow world, driven towards the one light he can see in the darkness. He never expected to find the beautiful and compassionate woman who met him in the light, and he vowed to fight with everything left in his being for the one woman who could make him fight through the agony and darkness, to live.
As Emily struggles to find and save the body that goes with Koda’s spirit, she’s caught in a race against time that could cost them all their lives, or she could end up with the greatest gift of all—a mate and family of her own.
