Author's Note

Loss tugs him one way. Grief tugs her the other way. Him, a centuries-old vampire who lost every chance to have a family. Her, the spirit of a dead woman who hopes to fill the family-sized hole in her heart. Just mere empty shells of former humans attached to strings mercilessly controlled by the past. It's the same darkness that forces them into each other's arms but can he resist her forever? And can she find what was lost? Will they love each other enough to cut their strings?
