    About this ebook

    Waking up in the gutter, for Leah Rhodes, life as she knows it has just changed forever.

     

    In the dark surroundings of her distant past, a familiar man stands out in the confusion.

     

    But Remy Moreland has been dead for years.

     

    It soon becomes apparent to Leah that both she and Remy are trapped in a hell of their own making. Can one night together not only lead to the way out, but to love as well?
