Calliope "Callie" Lowen woke up six months after a horrifying car crash with her girlfriend, Harper Barrett-only to realize her body was still lying in a hospital bed, while she was already wandering the world as a soul.
With the help of Parisa, her so-called guardian angel, Callie could go anywhere she wanted-but only for an hour at a time. If she failed to return, her body would die for good.
Harper, shattered by the accident, refused to accept Callie's death-until Callie's sister, Caroline, forced the truth on her in anger.
Then Margaret Fairchilds entered the picture-a rising fashion designer who carved her place inside Harper's company. Warm, bright, and everything Harper wasn't, Margaret slowly became someone Harper leaned on. But Margaret carried a secret of her own, one powerful enough to shatter the person she loved most-Harper.
Would Callie ever wake up again-or was she destined to remain a silent witness, trapped between life and death?
Would Harper find it in herself to forgive Margaret, to confront the feelings growing in her heart despite the grief she still carried?
And would Margaret ever find the courage to tell Harper the truth about the car crash-the truth that could either set them free... or destroy them all?
Follow the lives of three women tangled together by a single car crash.
As love, grief, and guilt collide, long-buried secrets from Harper's past-and the dark truth behind her father-begin to surface, threatening to unravel everything they thought they knew.
