Dearly Departed

by Rachael Rawlings

About this book

Dorothy, known as Dot to the few who tolerate her quirks, lives a life defined by the somber quiet of her father’s funeral home. As an artist, she expresses the emotions she cannot speak, but her eccentric nature has always kept her on the fringes of her small town. That is, until a mysterious stranger appears in the cemetery, aimlessly wandering among the headstones with a longing he cannot articulate.

Their meeting sparks a haunting connection that transcends the boundaries of the living. As a spirit-medium of sorts, Dot discovers that the man she is drawn to is not merely a visitor to the graveyard; he is a soul tethered to a past he cannot remember. To win his heart, she must venture into the shadows of his unfinished business, risking everything to uncover the truth behind his sudden arrival.

This paranormal romance weaves a spell of suspense and ethereal longing that keeps readers captive from the very first page. It is a gripping exploration of love found in the most unlikely of places, perfect for those who crave a story where the mystery is as profound as the chemistry. Prepare to be haunted by this unforgettable, twist-filled journey.
