Sage Whitman has been trapped between walls and seasons for ten years — a ghost tethered to the scorched edge of a single, half‑burned photograph. When a charismatic livestreamer drags that fragment back into daylight and launches a viral hunt for the man in the photo, the world wakes up — and so does the one person Sage never stopped waiting for: Julian Keene, the brilliant, guarded tech magnate who once loved an eighteen‑year‑old who couldn't always answer back. But Julian returns with collars, contracts and a fiancée; the internet spins lies that bruise his name, and Sage discovers she cannot move beyond the photograph without forgetting everything she is. Will she reveal herself and shatter the fragile life he’s built? Or will she let him go so he can breathe again? A haunting, bittersweet paranormal romance about memory, reputation, the cruelty of silence, and the strange grace of love that survives even after bodies burn.
