As workaholic Evie Pope nears thirty, she’s determined to slow down and start enjoying the “life” part of work-life balance. With a major promotion—and the financial security that comes with it—on the horizon, she might finally have her chance. But when she wakes up as a spirit in her work rival’s apartment and learns her body is stuck in a coma, her plans are officially DOA.
Being a spirit is bad enough. Discovering that Rafael Vela—the man who used to be her friend and is now her biggest rival—is the only person who can help her? It’s a special kind of purgatory. In no position to negotiate, she strikes a desperate deal: He gets the promotion if he helps reunite Evie’s spirit with her body.
As they begin to spend more time together, Evie discovers there’s more to Rafael than his bedroom eyes and his hey-there dimpled smile. With only a week until Evie’s body is transferred to long-term care and out of Rafael’s reach, Evie must choose between trusting the man who betrayed her years ago and figuring things out the way she’s always done it: alone.
This contemporary romance with a paranormal twist blends heated banter, old grudges, and unfinished business, perfect for anyone who believes in second chances.
About The Author
My Review
This is a wonderfully fresh and playful romance that blends workplace tension, paranormal chaos, and heartfelt emotion into one addictive story. From the moment Evie wakes up as a spirit trapped in her rival Rafael’s apartment, the book hooks you with its originality and charm. What could have felt gimmicky instead becomes a clever setup for a story full of banter, vulnerability, and unexpected connection.
Evie is an instantly likable heroine—driven, fiery, and fiercely independent—while Rafael strikes the perfect balance between infuriating and irresistible. Their shared history adds delicious friction to every interaction, and watching their animosity slowly melt into something softer is incredibly satisfying. The forced proximity and teamwork lead to standout scenes that highlight their chemistry and deepen their emotional bond.
What really works is how the story mixes humor with genuine stakes. Evie’s race to reclaim her body adds urgency, but the tone remains warm and engaging throughout. The paranormal twist never overshadows the romance; instead, it amplifies the tension and growth between the characters.
Overall, this is a fun, romantic, and unexpectedly heartfelt read that keeps you smiling—and turning pages.
