LOVE BEYOND THE GRAVE
Two strangers. One deadly night. A love that transcends death. She never expected to die. The searing pain of a knife plunging into her stomach was the last thing she felt before everything went dark. But in those final moments, she locked eyes with him-a man she didn't know, lying beside her in the same blood-soaked fate, his gaze meeting hers. There was something undeniable in his eyes-was it crazy to fall in love when you're dying? She believed, in that fleeting instant, he was there to save her. But was he?
