Book 1 of Veil Between Us series
Every haunting begins with the living...
They called her because the shadows wouldn't stop whispering.
Evelyn Rowan has spent her life seeing what others can't. The flickers in the corner of your eye, the voices that echo after the lights go out. Some call her cursed. Others call her a fraud.
She just calls it survival.
When a quiet family in rural Maine becomes the center of a terrifying haunting, objects moving on their own, doors slamming in empty rooms, a child speaking to something that isn't there, Evelyn is called in to help.
But she's not alone this time.
The investigation team known as SEVENTEEN, led by the pragmatic Seungcheol is already on the case, determined to expose the haunting as a hoax.
Among them are Wonwoo, a quiet researcher who studies the dead, and Vernon, a skeptic who only believes in what he can record.
What begins as a simple case quickly unravels into something darker. The presence inside the house doesn't just want attention, it wants a body.
And it's chosen one of its own.
As the line between the living and the dead begins to blur, Evelyn realizes the truth she's feared all along. The spirits don't just follow her, they remember her.

"Our love was made out of a bet that you agreed on playing."
He's a smooth talker who never calls back. She's the one woman who's never fallen for his charm- until now. But when hearts get involved in a game that was never meant to be serious, who's really playing who?
Kim Mingyu doesn't do love-only late nights, smooth lies, and clean exits. His rules are simple: never call back, never catch feelings. But when a night out turns into a reckless challenge, he finds himself chasing the one girl who's always kept her distance-Jessi, cold, composed, and completely uninterested in men like him.
She's not looking for games. He doesn't believe in anything real. But when lines blur and emotions start to slip through the cracks, they both realize the stakes are higher than they thought.
Love was never part of the bet.
