Dom of the Dead

By Virginia Nelson

She couldn’t imagine living without him.

After Carson Black’s longtime crush and best friend, Randall Stokes, dies in a motorcycle accident, she openly weeps at his funeral. In the ensuing days and weeks of inconsolable grief, she hears his voice, smells his scent, feels his desires. She must be going mad.

He was afraid to demand what he needed.

Dominant Randall Stokes loves Carson but never expressed it while alive, never daring to dream the sweet girl next door could be the submissive he needed to find satisfaction. But after his death, a much clearer perspective of her needs, wants, and desires emerges.

A ghost of a chance...

Is it too late to have what they’ve both longed for?

Chapter One

Eyes closed, hands folded across his chest, Randall lay on the bed of white satin. She stared at the chiseled jawline—golden from his many hours in the sun—and curling black hair all the darker against the light-colored fabric. Reaching out, she touched his fingers, remembering how they’d always curled around hers, so strong and safe.

Always.

But not today.

His lifeless hand stayed still and cold under hers. Up to that moment, the whole mess seemed unreal. The lack of response sent her heart beating hard and
