Calvin Burnham dies in a car crash, but his transgressions when he lived fill him with guilt and thus he is unable to cross over. Watching his mother Lacey mourn his death adds to his feelings of failure and keeps him anchored in a self-made purgatory.

Also grieving Calvin's sudden demise is his former best friend Sean Logan. Lacey allows Sean to stay with her for now as she used to when he and Calvin were teenage buddies. However, that innocent arrangement takes a spin as desire and love grow between them although Sean feels guilty for hiding a nasty truth about him from her. Outraged that his friend and his mother are falling in love and filled with jealous resentment including the fact they live, Calvin vows to stop this "unnatural" at least in mind pairing by destroying Sean.

This is a terrific, paranormal, romantic, suspense thriller starring three strong characters in a weird triangle relationship. The storyline is fast-paced right out of the chute and never slows down as Sean's past comes back to haunt him and his beloved. Ghost romance readers will gain immense pleasure from Sharon Cullers' strong tale.
