Mortal Love (Realms of the After)

What if you risked everything to save your life… only to wake up inside the life you always dreamed of?

Delilah, a 32-year-old woman from our world, undergoes experimental brain surgery and opens her eyes in Nevaehun, the realm of the Fae.

No doctors. No monitors. No proof she even survived.

Is this the afterlife… or a dream brought on by anesthesia?

As Delilah struggles to understand Nevaehun’s rules, power begins to stir in her blood, dangerous and unfamiliar. So does a hunger she has never allowed herself to want.

It draws the attention of a High Lord of Flame whose pull feels like fate… and betrayal.

Because in the mortal realm, she left behind a husband she still loves.

Now Delilah must choose which version of herself she will allow to exist… and which one she will leave behind.
