Bashert

There will be no till death do us part. The ghostly words of Donovan, Aria's late husband, terrify Aria on the eve of her wedding to her second husband, Wallace. Donovan reveals to Aria that they are bashert, two twin souls who are fated to be born once every five hundred years and who will do anything to reunite. In unbearable pain without Aria, Donovan intends on having his wife join him in an eternal wedding on the other side. Aria insists that she must move on and start a family with another man. Undeterred, Donovan besieges Aria, seeking to possess her to bring her to the other side by force. Aria finds herself in a fight for her life as the fate of her family hangs in the balance. Written in a Romantic-era Gothic style, the book is an homage to ghost stories and romantic melodramas of the past.
