After losing her fiancé to mysterious and untimely death, a grief-stricken woman refuses to accept a world without him. She performs a forbidden wedding ritual, binding herself halfway between life and death, and summons a psychopomp to serve as her guide. In exchange for a chance to see her beloved again in Arcadia, a serene, pastoral afterlife, she must escort wandering souls to their final rest.

William Waynes is a man haunted by heartbreak. Once a passionate and devoted lover, he loses himself after Emily the woman he believed was his soulmate leaves him for someone else. Crushed and emotionally shattered, William buries his pain in meaningless sex, emotional detachment, and a reckless lifestyle. Working as a bookstore clerk in a quiet town, he hides behind a hardened exterior, refusing to feel or trust again.

But everything begins to change when he meets Sophie, a gentle yet strong-willed woman who sees past his walls. Their connection is slow, cautious, and built on quiet conversations, shared vulnerability, and the growing hope that love might still be possible. Sophie, too, carries her own scars but chooses healing over bitterness, inspiring William to face his past.

This book is a love letter to every soul that has loved without limits and lost without mercy. It’s a reminder that even in the wreckage, the love we give is never wasted. It stays with us, quietly rebuilding our hearts, whispering that someday, we’ll love again. 

A grieving husband learns that life is forever when he revives his wife's favorite sunflower garden.
