What if the only man who can make you fall in love isn't even real? What does Iris Carlisle do when her only escape from a suffocating world is a faceless phantom who meets her exclusively in her sleep? For years, she has given her heart entirely to a shadow, convinced he is her ultimate soulmate. But what happens when the safe haven she built in the dark suddenly collides with a living nightmare in the waking world? If the man in her dreams is her sanctuary, Sebastian Thorne is the person she hates most on earth. He is a brooding, cynical soloist whose raw acoustic melodies mask a cold, unforgivable past. Iris doesn't just dislike him, she loathes him. She has every reason to wish he didn't exist.
