"I'm scared," I whispered.
"I know," he said softly. "But you have a heartbeat, Em. A life right in front of you. Don't waste it mourning someone who can't share it with you anymore."
I sobbed, covering my face with my hands. "I can't... I cant do that. I don't want to."
He stood in front of me, lifting my chin so I had no choice but to meet his gaze. "If I stay, you'll never be free," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "And I love you too much to be the reason your heart doesn't heal."
*********
When Emily loses the love of her life, Tom, in a tragic accident, her world shatters. Haunted by grief and unable to move on, she finds herself on the verge of a heartbreaking decision at the edge of a bridge. But just when she's about to give in, a mysterious biker named Jacob appears, pulling her back from the darkness.
Jacob seems too familiar, his presence too comforting, yet no one else has ever seen him. As Emily gets closer to him, she begins to uncover startling truths about Jax's identity. And with this revelation, she's forced to confront her deepest fears and decide whether to hold on to the love she's lost or to set herself free.
A novel of second chances, Ghosted Promises is an emotional rollercoaster that explores the power of love, the pain of letting go, and the beauty of finding hope again-sometimes, from the most unexpected places.

I said. "O" She nodded and held her breathe. "Alright! If you want me to be honest, then listen. Stop hitting on every chance you get, Jacob!"
