After getting kicked out of college for an offense she didn't commit, free-spirited Aspen Rouge returns home to Williamsburg, Virginia, seeking refuge and a clean slate. She dreams of getting back on her feet and finding love. Her prayers get answered, or so she thinks, when a mysterious letter arrives on her doorstep giving her ownership of the rundown bookstore in town, that's been kept running by the reclusive and handsome Xavier Tale. Desperate to keep his floundering family business from going under, Xavier strikes a deal with the devil, a dishonorable businessman. The price to save his cherished bookstore costs Xavier more than he expects, and he pays the debt with his life, cursed to live within the wall of the shop forever. Xavier is instantly drawn to Aspen's light, and she to his chivalry and quiet confidence. He tries to protect her and warns her to stay away. Especially when the strange and unusal starts happening around the shop. Xavier knows it's because of her presence, but Aspen doesn't scare easily. She knows he's hiding something and she plans to find out what it is. The question is will their budding romance survive the evil that lurks within the basement of the bookstore? *Special Thanks to LJ0328 for this amazing cover*
