From Samantha Towle, New York Times bestselling author of Unsuitable, Breaking Hollywood and Ruin, comes a powerful, darkly dramatic new contemporary romance.

Once upon nine years ago, Nikita Stepanova loved a boy. The boy was the son of her father’s fiercest enemy and competitor. If her father ever found out about them…he would kill the boy.

I would like to say the story had a happy ending, but alas, this one did not.

And, on that fateful night, when her father pulled the trigger, ending the life of the boy she loved, he should have killed Niki, too. For that was the night her heart stopped beating.

Nine years later, Niki is getting married. A marriage of convenience. A bonding of two families. A business arrangement.

A week before she is to be married, Niki takes a trip to London to celebrate her last weekend of freedom. And, in a bar, she feels a flicker of a heartbeat in her chest.

She follows the heartbeat out of the bar. Down the street. In a taxi. To a house.

And, in that house, Niki will learn that the dead don’t always stay dead.
