When Raoul de Chagny boards a flight to Savannah, Georgia, he never expects to cross paths with Christine Daaé—his first love and the woman who vanished from his life years ago. Christine is no longer the starry-eyed girl he once knew; she's a celebrated author of gothic romances, running from a dangerous ex who refuses to let her go.

But Christine harbors another secret—one written in ink and whispered from beyond the grave. For years, she’s been receiving letters from Erik, a mysterious correspondent who understands the dark beauty of her soul better than anyone alive. Drawn to Savannah by his invitation, Christine arrives at an old bookshop only to find that Erik is no ordinary admirer—he’s a ghost, bound by longing and regret, having waited over a century for the return of his muse.

Unable to touch her, Erik seizes a forbidden opportunity when Christine reunites with Raoul. Slipping into the young man’s body, Erik reclaims the life—and love—that death denied him. Through Raoul’s face and voice, he shares stolen kisses, relishes every tender touch, and lives out dreams penned in countless letters.

But as passion and guilt entwine, Erik faces a torment greater than death: Christine deserves to love the man behind the mask, not the illusion he’s created. How can she choose when the truth risks shattering both their hearts?

Set against the haunting backdrop of Savannah’s moss-draped streets and forgotten catacombs, Chasing Heaven is a modern, southern gothic retelling of The Phantom of the Opera—a tale of obsession, identity, and the courage it takes to let go of the past… and face love unmasked.
