She's exactly what he shouldn't want. He's exactly what she needs.

I'm fine, at least that's what I tell everyone. A series of heartbreaks drives me to move across the country and hide away in my pajamas, until a sexy gardener at the San Francisco botanical gardens gets me off my ass. Hell, Jack saves me when I step in dog shit. He's close to perfect.
But the past has a way of catching up to me. A promise I made my husband before he died keeps me bound, keeps any chance at love a distant dream. The more time I spend with Jack, the guiltier I feel for breaking my promise. Everyone's got their hang-ups, right?

Life is good. I've got a successful business and I'm an active member of my community. I know better than most that our tragedies shape who we are, but Gemma comes from a world that nearly wrecked me. Yet no matter how hard I try, I can't leave this undeniable thing I've got for her alone.
Being with Gemma makes me feel like a new man, like I've been sleepwalking through life without even knowing it. But something from her past keeps us from moving forward. Someone. Can a simple man compete with a ghost?
