Summary: WHEN LOVE REFUSES TO STAY DEAD
Felix Harper, an indie filmmaker with his career on the rise, has always processed grief through horror. His new project is no different: an intimate retelling of Dracula meant to exorcise feelings he'd prefer to see dead and buried. But in his search for the perfect lead actor, the person he's least expected to see again walks into the audition room.
Raphael Montrose is Felix's ex-best friend, the person who once knew him better than anyone. The person he hasn't spoken to in years, not since Felix sacrificed their friendship in a desperate attempt to protect what he loved. The person who still makes Felix's heart beat in his throat.
Casting him would go against any sort of common sense. But when it comes to Raphael, Felix has never had any.
As the two navigate filming a potential cult classic and rebuilding the fragile trust between them, old feelings resurface and the lines between past and present, performance and reality begin to blur. But when the ghosts of their past return to haunt, will they be able to face them, or will they be forced to bury their feelings for good?
For readers who enjoyed If We Were Villains, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, a gothic second chance/friends-to-lovers romance spanning years of yearning, tenderness, betrayal and artistic obsession.
