He went to bury a ghost-and found the woman he could never forget... But some ghosts refuse to stay buried, and some loves refuse to die.

When Bart Teka travels to Nigeria to meet his estranged father, he never expects to run into Geri Pena, the woman whose memory still haunts him. But now that he's found her again, someone will do anything to make her disappear.

Geri is desperate to return to the U.S. but leaving Africa won't be easy. When a threat on her life forces them to flee together, Bart risks everything to protect her, only to learn that crossing an ocean can't keep the past from catching up.

As old wounds and buried secrets rise to the surface, Bart must face his tangled legacy of adoption, betrayal, and a love strong enough to face the pain he's never spoken aloud.

But just as new hope blooms, the past returns, reminding them that true redemption always costs more than you're willing to pay. Can love survive when the past refuses to stay buried...
