"Old flames ignite and the past never truly dies in a haunting new romance from USA Today bestselling author Nadine Gonzalez.
Author Jules Levy Jones is running-from her past, from her grief, and from the only man who ever really sparked her interest. Drawn to Key West for a prestigious literary festival, she finds herself back in Leo White's orbit, and she knows she can't run any more.
A brooding horror writer with demons of his own, Leo is more captivating than ever-and he's determined not to let Jules walk away from him again. Not even when she confesses she's being haunted by eerie whispers and chilling visions.
As the tropical heat rises, so does the tension between them. But Key West's historic Aurora Inn holds more than just romance: Could the ghosts following Jules be echoes from her past? Or are they part of something more sinister?
Caught between a love they're scared to embrace and a supernatural mystery that demands to be solved, Jules and Leo must face the ghosts of the past that threaten to consume them both.
This is a story of love, loss, and the spirits that bind us, perfect for fans of:
- Slow Burn
- Rivals to Lovers
- Second-Chance Romance
- Close Proximity

"An Instant USA TODAY Bestseller!
"This is the beach and pool read of the summer! Fun and sexy with a delicious slow-burn that revolves around a lovable cast of characters." -Karen Booth, author of Not So Fast
Wanted-no, NEEDED: a summer escape with beach reads, cocktails…and a little romance on the side.
After her legal career comes to a sudden and humiliating end, Liliane Lyon books a restorative summer rental at The Icon, a quintessential Art Deco building in Miami Beach, where her only plan is to bask in the sun, read, and sip cocktails. But soon she's enchanted by the colorful community, including university professor Benedicto Romero-resident tortured poet, whose sole intention for sabbatical is to indulge in brooding introspection.
When they discover a shared passion for romance novels, Lily and Ben are soon spending hours reading together by the pool, the spark between them unwittingly giving the other residents the impression that they're experts in matters of the heart…no matter that IRL their disastrous love lives bear little resemblance to the stories they're reading.
But while Ben and Lily can pinpoint a trope a mile away and give excellent advice to others, they can't make sense of the sizzling chemistry between them, and the suggestion of a professional podcast suddenly forces them to consider the long-term. So what if it means working even closer together! So what if their banter makes Lily's head spin! It's the summer of taking chances, but a word to the wise: Miami isn't the place for growth and rebirth. It's the place to get messy.
For fans of:
- Slow Burn
- Friends to Lovers
- Close Proximity
- Beachy Reads
- Books About Books
- Black Love
- Eccentric and charming characters ala Only Murders in the Building
