A woman must woo her lover's soul back into his body to wake him from a coma - or risk losing him forever - in this moving novel from the author of The Hundred Loves of Juliet.
......................
Claire Walker has her life in perfect order. Yet the one thing she is missing is a perfect love to complete it, until fate pushes Spanish artist Matías de León into her path. Matías is free-spirited and creative, chaos to her order. She falls for him, hard - and he for her.
A year later, however, Claire begins to question how they can possibly work long-term when they're so different. Might it be best to end it before they are in too deep?
Then tragedy strikes while Matías is visiting family, leaving him gravely wounded in a Madrid hospital. Claire drops everything to race to his side, and finds she is the only one who can see and talk to Matías's soul, detached from his comatose body. But that soul has no memories of his year in New York, of her, or of their relationship. In order to lure Matías back to his body, Claire will have to convince him to fall in love with her all over again. But can the same magic that brought them together once do so again?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
An attorney faces the loss of the love of her life in Skye's heart-wrenching latest (after The Hundred Loves of Juliet). Claire Walker is on track to make partner at her New York law firm when she meets Spanish artist Matías de León at a gallery opening. They fall hard for each other, but 11 months into their relationship, tragedy strikes when Claire bails on their trip to Spain and Matías goes without her, ending up in a coma following a speedboat accident. Though she's in the middle of finalizing a merger that would cement her promotion, Claire leaves New York for Madrid to be at Matías's bedside. At her hotel, however, she sees what she first believes is Matías's ghost and worries she's too late. But the comatose Matías is still alive; this is the astral projection of his soul. To reunite it with his body, she must remind him of his love for her—even though, in this form, he has no idea who she is. Skye has such a light touch with the supernatural elements that even skeptical readers will embrace the moving tale of Claire trying to woo back her soulmate. The flawed but memorable characters resonate and their love rings true. Readers won't want to put this down.
