Natsumi only wanted a quiet place to write—a cheap gothic house in a sleepy town where no one knew her name. She didn't expect Cupid's Queue, a matchmaking app, to pair her with a man whose messages were warm, witty… and impossible. Xavier is everything she shouldn't fall for—because he's been dead for three years.

As Natsumi unravels the truth behind his murder, she becomes aware of another presence in her life: Isaac, a charming but unsettling man who watches her with a too-familiar longing. He knows this house. He knows its history. And the more time Natsumi spends with him, the more she senses something fractured beneath his calm smile.

Xavier may be a ghost—but Isaac is very much alive.

Caught between a love that transcends death and a danger rooted deep in obsession, Natsumi must confront the past haunting her home before she becomes the next chapter in its bloody history.
