BLURB from Goodreads:
A heartbreaking
loss.
A love that
transcends mortality.
A struggle between
holding on and letting go…
KRISTIAN REED is only seventeen years old when his girlfriend, JESSICA
SCOTT, dies in a tragic accident. Devastated and burdened with guilt, he finds
it impossible to move on.
Six years later, he’s not doing any better. He’s accepted a prestigious
internship at a big city news station, but he’s still losing himself in alcohol
and women to numb his pain.
Jessica might be
dead, but she’s not gone—at least not anymore…
She is pulled from Purgatory, and thanks to the presence of a personal
memento, Kristian can see and feel her. But how can the ghost of his first love
expect to be a part of his future?
BAILEY NICHOLS is assertive and annoying, but something draws her and
Kristian together. Her brother hates him, but Bailey is used to getting what
she wants. She knows the pain of losing people you love, and she’s determined
to break through Kristian’s emotional wall and prove they belong together.
Jessica is caught between worlds. She can’t let go of Kristian, but she’s
not meant to be here, and her lingering is threatening everyone and everything
around her as she begins to lose herself to the darkness.

EXCERPT
“Wh-what are you
doing? Why are you getting naked?”
“Do I look naked to
you?” she asks sarcastically, pulling her jeans off and walking to the edge of
the pool in only her bra and underpants. What is she doing? She kneels down to
touch the water, pulling her hand back quickly at the freezing temperature.
Glancing back at me, she lifts the corner of her mouth in a dare.
Can I do this? Do I
do this?
I suck in a deep
breath, stand, and start undressing. When I’m left with just my boxers, I make
my way to the pool to stand beside her. I look at her briefly, at the way her
half naked body curves in all the right places, and I’m momentarily distracted.
She arches a brow at my gaze.
Pulling my thoughts
back together, I grasp her hand. “On the count of three?”
Her
grin is wide as she nods, and on three we jump in.
The
freezing cold water envelops us. I feel like I’ve been dropped into a bucket of
ice. Somewhere under the water I lose my hold on Bailey’s hand. Kicking at the
water, I sputter to the surface, shivering uncontrollably. Bailey surfaces near
me, her lips tinged blue.
“Whose
idea was this?” she asks, her teeth chattering.
I
chuckle, gliding back to the edge of the deep pool. “I’m pretty sure this was
your fault. What a stupid idea.”
“Yeah,
weird,” she says, gliding up beside me. “Usually it’s you that makes the stupid
decisions.” I narrow my eyes at her, and then lunge, dunking her head under the
icy water. She screams when I let her up, but by the time she tries to reach me
for payback, I’m already climbing out of the water.
I
jitter my way back into my clothes, which takes twice as long as usual because
of my shaking fingers, then lean over the edge of the pool and extend my hand
to help her out.
She
grasps my hand with a mischievous grin. “You know I could just yank on your
hand and pull you back into the water. Your clothes would be soaked.”
“Yes,
you could, but if you do I might catch a cold. Then it’ll be your turn to play
the good friend and sit and watch girly movies with me while I sniffle away
into a tissue.”
She
considers this for a moment and then nods. “Touché.”
