In the Absence of You

Emil isn’t your usual adoring leading man. He’s the monster anti-hero. Aishe isn’t your classic protagonist. She’s the temptress anti-heroine. This isn’t your typical romance. It’s a horror anti-love story. This isn’t the traditional novel where the sweet, innocent girl finds her prince charming and they live happily-ever-after. If that’s what you’re looking for, look somewhere else. Because in this story, no one gets out unscathed. Aishe is running. Running from the burn of a love she knows will consume her. Running from a soul mate she’s never even met. If only she hadn’t been hired as a merch girl for the hottest indie band on earth. If only she’d never laid eyes on its front man, Emil—intense, sexy, and so unlike the men of her culture. If only she hadn’t fallen onto his lips, then into his bed. If only her flame hadn’t exploded into a full-on forest fire. If only Emil’s heart didn’t belong to someone else. Emil is running. Running from a broken heart. Running from who he was with her. If only Zoe hadn’t left. If only Aishe hadn’t been right there. If only she hadn’t been so damn gorgeous—insistent—different. If only he could control himself around her. If. Only. $2.99 sales price 2 first days only.**
