Vivian Rook has spent fifteen years convincing grieving people she can speak to the dead.
Then one of them answers.
Gabriel Vane is sarcastic, infuriatingly handsome-and very definitely murdered. Bound to a mysterious mourning ring and unable to stray far from Vivian, he has only fragments of memory and one urgent request: find out who killed him before his funeral.
The investigation draws Vivian into Vane House, a rain-soaked Georgian estate where old money, buried scandals, and family loyalties have been left to rot beneath the surface. Everyone has secrets. Someone is lying. And the closer Vivian gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to ignore the impossible connection growing between her and Gabriel.
Because when Vivian touches him, the cold disappears.
He becomes warm. Solid. Almost alive.
As murder, desire, and a century of family secrets begin to unravel, Vivian must decide how much truth she can survive-and what happens when the dead man she was supposed to help refuses to leave.
Darkly funny, atmospheric, sensual, and romantic, The Last S ance is a gothic paranormal mystery about ghosts, grief, forbidden desire, and discovering that some unfinished business is worth holding on to.
