Ashlyn Greer, a rare book merchant, has a deep love for books that goes beyond the alluring aroma of worn paper, ink, and leather. The books' former owners' echoes are palpable to her, like an emotional fingerprint that only she can decipher. Ashlyn's gift turns into an addiction very fast once she stumbles into a pair of exquisitely bound books that seem to have never been published. In addition to bearing surprising incriminations, Hemi and Belle, the writers, provide opposing viewpoints on a sad relationship.
Ashlyn finds herself enmeshed in a decades-old literary mystery, with no clue as to how these enigmatic writings came to be. She is drawn in by the remains of two hearts, whomever they were and wherever they may be. She reads on, determined to discover the truth behind the tragic lovers' story. Along the way, she encounters unfulfilled promises and apparently inexcusable betrayals. Ashlyn is getting closer to ending both Hemi and Belle's love story and the unfinished parts of her own, the more she finds out about them.
