Holland Elson writes best-selling vampire novels, is a talented photographer, and a recluse who's idea of a good time is peering through lighted windows and prowling around in the dark in the name of research. When her wheel-chair bound aunt in London asks her to spy on a local artist she's convinced killed her brother, Holly's up for the challenge. Only the Victorian and Georgian roof lines turn out to be far richer in subject material than she could ever have dreamed so she lingers over skylights and conservatory windows, enscorcelled by interior lives .

Her night forays continue until, far above the streets, she chances upon the sound of Shakespeare evoked in melodious British vowels through an open skylight. Stage actor, Nicolas Hewitt, famous for his face as well as his talent, is reading Hamlet and Holland can't resist a closer look into his den. Only the line between one life and another is thinner than she realizes. She slips, crashing through the half-constructed skylight right on top of Nicholas and deep into the shards of a murder scene. 

Suddenly, she's no longer an observer but a player and in this game the stakes are life and death.

He saw her that day, the first day she started working for his sick aunt. She was bubbly, vivacious, slightly crazy and stunningly beautiful. She made his aunt laugh and smile, like she hadn't done in years. She saw him that day too. She smiled and waved at him as though pleased to see him. He did nothing. He knew then that she was the innocent destined to lose her life to give him his immortality. The following day he had the windows to his sanctuary tinted so she couldn't see in. He could see out though. For the next six months before his aunt died, he watched her every day. At the funeral he couldn't take his eyes off her sombre figure. At the reading of the will, he scowled outwardly that she was given the gatehouse. Inwardly he smiled the brightest smile knowing she would have to work for him to actually attain it. She had intrigued him from that first smile, he wanted to know this enigma of a woman. Even though he would take her life, he wanted to know her. Honey Combes was there for Rosie Jackson's funeral. She saw Aiden Jackson watching her and could only wonder why. To her he had become known only as the mystery man. The man that never smiled, spent every moment of his life cooped up in a little room but was loved dearly by his now dead aunt. Finding out Rosie had left her a house had astonished Honey. She wasn't too sure about the terms though. She knew she had to accept that she was pretty broke. She also didn't want to keep living with her parents and three younger sisters. It was only six months she had to work for him. Maybe she would uncover the hidden layers of him that had always fascinated her or it could be the worst six months of her life. Little did she know her life was about to be extinguished by the one man that fascinated her. To extend his own life would he take hers?

While her best friend Cassidy snacks on brie and boys in France, Darcy Li-Quinn must face her last year of high school and the unpredictable wrath of her sister, Danica, alone. Darcy's plan for dealing with Danica and her heinous friends is simple-be invisible. But first, she's promised Cassidy she'll do 'one brave thing'. Mustering the courage to say 'hi' to the cute boy on the bus, Darcy expects rejection or indifference. She doesn't anticipate a grumpy ghost with unfinished business who needs her help. Suddenly, a quiet year of flying under the radar looks increasingly unlikely. *** Rationally, Hunter Viera knows that his brother's death wasn't his fault. But that doesn't stop his guilt about Archer invading his every thought or lessen the grief sitting heavy in his chest. Changing schools offers a fresh start, and Hunter's plan is simple-be invisible. But he hasn't counted on Darcy, or her ludicrous claim that Archer speaks to her from beyond the grave. Suddenly, a quiet year of sitting on the sidelines looks increasingly unlikely. *** This is a story about hearts and hope and public transport. This is Darcy and Hunter's story (and a little bit Archer's too). *** 'Get A Life' is my entry for Open Novella Contest 2023 and is inspired by the following prompts. 20. You finally build enough courage to talk to that cute someone you see every day on the bus. Their face turns dark as they respond "You shouldn't be able to see me." 9. There's an urban legend that's been circulating for years about a taxi cab that doesn't take you where you want to go, but where you need to go. One night, you stepped into this cab.
