Esme has seen ghosts since the day she was born. Andre has only ever seen her.
Deeply in love and hours away from forever, their wedding becomes a mystery when Esme leaves Andre standing at the altar-then vanishes without a trace. No explanation. No goodbye. Only silence.
What Andre doesn't know is that Esme's disappearance was never abandonment-it was sacrifice. Facing a fate she could not outrun, she chose to leave rather than let him watch her fade. But death is no match for a love this powerful.
When a dying kitten crosses her path between worlds, Esme gives the last of her energy to save him-and in that act, their souls entwine. The kitten, now called Gato, becomes the vessel through which she finds her way back to the man she never stopped loving.
At Villa Vizcaya - the magnificent home Andre restored in unwavering faith that she would one day return - Gato walks the halls as if he belongs there. Because he does. Because she does.
And through the sheer force of Andre's devotion, he begins to hear them - Esme and Gato - speaking to him telepathically.
But love's return brings more than reunion. When Andre uncovers the truth behind Esme's disappearance, he also learns he is the unexpected heir to Chateau La Fayette near Toulouse - a grand estate alive with spirits who, like Esme, refused to surrender to death.
In VANISHED, love does not end at the altar. It does not end at the grave. It waits. It whispers. And if it is strong enough … it finds its way home.
LIFE AFTER LIFE
Andre has loved Esme since the day they met at the University of Valencia.
Some loves fade with time. Theirs defied it.
Even death could not sever what bound them. When Esme crossed the veil, she did not become a ghost lingering in shadows nor a silent observer drifting through memory. She remained earthbound - present, aware, fiercely in
Andre has loved Esme since the day they met at the University of Valencia.
Some loves fade with time. Theirs defied it.
Even death could not sever what bound them. When Esme crossed the veil, she did not become a ghost lingering in shadows nor a silent observer drifting through memory. She remained earthbound - present, aware, fiercely in love - but without a body to hold him, to touch him, to fully return what his heart still gives.
In a centuries-old château heavy with secrets, Andre lives among spirits who, like Esme, never truly left. The halls whisper. The walls remember. And beneath the estate lies a labyrinth of forgotten tunnels - passageways carved through stone and time - where truths have been buried for generations.
As Andre begins to uncover what lies beneath the château, he realizes the mystery is far greater than lost history. The secrets hidden in the dark are the very chains binding the restless souls above - including the woman he refuses to lose twice.
To set Esme free, he must descend into the depths of the past.
In LIFE AFTER LIFE, love does not end at death—it transforms. And sometimes, the only way forward is finding the light amongst the shadows beneath the surface.
