📚 Book 1 of a completed 2-book series
After years of bouncing through the foster system, seventeen-year-old Maggie finally discovers stability with her aunt in a sleepy Texas town—until she stumbles upon a mystery that's haunted the community for decades. When she encounters a boy that no one else can see, she's drawn into a connection so compelling it transcends the very real barrier between them, and suddenly her carefully constructed new life feels anything but safe. What unfolds is a achingly beautiful romance shadowed by an impossible truth: some loves are written in the stars, and some are written in heartbreak. As Maggie races to uncover the secrets binding them together, she'll discover that the greatest danger might not be the mystery itself, but what she'll have to sacrifice to protect the one person she can't afford to lose.

“Create a playlist called Slow Dance in Purgatory. Haunting indie folk meets ethereal dream pop—think Phoebe Bridgers, Bon Iver, and The National. Soft acoustic guitars, reverb-heavy vocals, and melancholic strings that feel suspended between two worlds. Sweet but achingly tense, like longing through a veil.”
