"The night remembers what the living forget." Beverly was, much like most others, never one to believe in fate. Her life had always been small and nothing short of ordinary. That was, until the evening she stepped into "Anderson's Treasures", much like she did every day, and met a man who felt like a half-remembered dream. Sebastian has waited centuries. When he sees her, he knows. It'd take an idiot not to. The same eyes. The same soul. He swears she's been reincarnate. And this time, he swears, he won't lose her again. But Beverly isn't Lorraine. At least, not like the Lorraine he used to hold so dearly. And the closer Sebastian draws Beverly into his world of shadows, the more dangerous their bond becomes. Because love can be scary. Love can consume everything in its path, flame and all. And some flames can never die.

Lucian Ashford. A billionaire benefactor as handsome, brilliant, and ancient as the artifacts he collects. His gaze is too intense, his knowledge of history too personal, and his every touch feels like a jolt of phantom memory. He is a stranger, yet her very soul seems to recognize him, to ache for him with a longing that spans centuries. He offers her a world of impossible truths and a love story written across a thousand years. But Lucian is not just a mysterious suitor. He is a creature of the night, with secrets darker than any shadow and enemies far older than any city. And his obsession with Maya is about to reawaken an ancient war, placing her at the center of a battle she doesn't even know she's been fighting for six lifetimes. She thought she was haunted by a ghost. She's about to discover the ghost is ...
