Victoria Bennet never expected her new job as museum curator would come with a ghost who refuses to stay in the past.
Fiercely capable and quietly guarded, Victoria moves into the apartment above the Spiritwood Museum - a creaking two-story relic tucked into a prairie town. The real secrets aren't behind the roped-off displays. They're scattered across ledgers, letters, and forgotten records - and piecing them together will take every bit of Victoria's patience, sharp eyes, and refusal to let the truth stay buried.
Jesse Colton is handsome, tormented, and dead - hanged for a crime the town has never once questioned in over a century. He has until May 24, the anniversary of his death, to clear his name. If Victoria can't help him prove the truth before then, he'll be lost for good.
He appears to her, visible only to her, needing the one thing no one ever gave her: belief. The closer the truth gets, the closer Victoria and Jesse become - and the countdown to May 24 isn't just about clearing a dead man's name anymore.
Some ghosts don't haunt places - they haunt hearts.
