Book synopsis

Emiliana Voss has touched a thousand dying souls-and carried every single one.

As a Soul Cartographer for the Liminal Bureau, Mila maps the emotional residue of the dead, absorbing their final feelings through her bare skin. It's why she never takes off her gloves. It's why she sleeps alone. It's why, in five years of this work, she has never once let anyone close enough to matter.

Then Cassian Noir puts his hand over hers-and for the first time in her adult life, she feels absolutely nothing. No grief. No borrowed pain. Just silence. And warmth.

It terrifies her more than any wraith she's ever faced.

When a dark entity called The Hollowing begins devouring souls across New Orleans-not just killing them, but erasing them from memory entirely-Mila is forced to partner with Cassian, a half-fae Shadow Walker who shouldn't exist in her world, let alone in her orbit.

He's two hundred years old. He's outlived three people he loved. He has sworn, very deliberately, never to do it again.

She can't be touched. He refuses to love. They are, by every reasonable measure, an impossible combination.

But The Hollowing is accelerating-and the only way to stop it requires them to pour every living feeling they have into a single space, together, at the same time. No armor. No distance. No running.

Never the Same is a steamy paranormal romance set in the haunted veins of New Orleans-where the dead are never fully gone, the past refuses to stay buried, and two people who have spent their lives not being touched discover that the most dangerous thing in either of their worlds is choosing to stay.

If you love sensual, emotionally charged romance with a rich supernatural world, forbidden attraction, and a love story that earns every beat of its ending-this is the book you've been waiting for.

Perfect for readers who devour Nalini Singh, Ilona Andrews, and Kresley Cole.

One-click now. New Orleans is waiting-and so is the silence between two people who have run out of reasons to stay apart.
