A Second-Chance Undertaker's Historical Romantic Suspense

Ten years a widow. He was never dead at all.

Hesper Sayer has buried the dead of her coast for ten faithful years, her husband's grave the most faithful of them all. She washed him, dressed him and laid him in the ground with her own two hands. The unsigned letters that have reached her every season since taught her the truth no body ever could.

He was never in that grave at all.

Jonah Sayer did not drown. He was taken alive by an empire that manufactures death to order, and made to pilot its ghost roads for a decade. When the men who faked his death start retiring the men they faked it for, he comes home to the one house on earth still safe enough to hide a dead man in.

His widow's.

To free him, Hesper and Jonah must steal the one book that can prove who is truly buried up and down this coast, and each of them is keeping a secret from the other.

Some graves are dug to bury a lie. This one is going to be the place two people finally tell the truth.

I had buried this man once, and he had the discourtesy to knock. Hesper
