Phantom Heart (The Ethereal Bonds Saga #1)

For forty years, I was a ghost. Invisible. Untouchable. And bored out of my nonexistent mind.

Then I found five men worth haunting.

I didnt mean to collect them. Okay, fine—I absolutely meant to collect them.

Kieran with his sunshine and shadows. Dre with those healing hands and sad eyes. Anik—who growls more than he talks and commands a kitchen like a general. Forrest, the leader who carries the weight of the world and definitely needs a day off. And Emerson, who has seventeen knives on him at all times and absolutely zero social skills.

They couldnt see me. Couldnt hear me. But they were mine.

Then I went and did something stupid. Heroic, sure. But mostly stupid. Now Im corporeal, I have feelings, and Ive discovered that chocolate is everything Ive ever wanted. That realization is rapidly being eclipsed by the fact that these men are suddenly very, very touchable.

The Council gives me the creeps. My own reflection gives me whiplash. I have zero memories, no idea who I was before, and apparently some very persistent people want me dead. Or captured. Or sacrificed—honestly, the details are fuzzy. What I do know? Theyre organized, theyre powerful, and theyre definitely not thrilled Im breathing.

Which means my existence is connected to something much bigger than five hot guys and an unlimited chocolate budget.

Unfortunately.

But the guys are helping me figure it out. One very distracting sensation at a time.

What could possibly go wrong?

Everything. The answer is everything.

But at least I have chocolate.
