About this book

The Wish Collector When lonely ballet dancer Clara arrives in New Orleans, she becomes drawn to the mysterious Windisle Plantation and discovers something extraordinary behind its crumbling stone walls—not a ghost, but a scarred, wounded man who's deliberately isolated himself from the world. As Clara returns week after week to speak with him through the cracks in the stone, an unexpected connection blooms between two broken souls, each offering the other something they thought was lost forever. But their fragile friendship exists in dangerous territory, shadowed by secrets, shame, and the man's conviction that some people are too damaged to deserve happiness. This is a sweeping tale of two hearts learning to wish again, set against the haunting beauty and magic of New Orleans.

“Create a playlist called The Wish Collector. Lush, haunting melodies wrapped in slow-burn romance. Think ethereal indie folk meets sultry R&B—mysterious New Orleans atmosphere with whispered vocals, orchestral swells, and intimacy simmering beneath. Artists like Hozier, Florence + The Machine, and SZA. Enchanted yet grounded.”
