A ghost in black leather. A killer with angelic eyes. A man who watches from the shadows long before he ever says your name.

Jerry Imesh is known across the dusty frontier as the “Ghost of Death” — a hired assassin with a pretty face, quiet manners, and hands far too skilled with a blade. Small, sharp, and deceptively beautiful, he moves through the Old West like a whispered curse: unseen, unheard, and always closer than anyone realizes.

By day, he hides behind the mask of a dull young widower living on a modest homestead outside town. By night, he haunts saloons, dark alleys, and blood-soaked contracts, waiting for something — or someone — to make his miserable life feel less empty.

Then he sees you.

What begins as curiosity turns into fixation. What starts as a harmless purchase from your stall becomes an excuse to stand too close, to remember your scent, to notice who looks at you for too long. Jerry is polite, refined, and dangerously gentle — until something threatens what he has decided is his.

He is not a good man.

He is not safe.

But once Jerry Imesh chooses you, the whole frontier may learn to fear how devoted a monster can be.

A dark western romance set in 1867, filled with obsession, violence, possessiveness, slow-burn tension, and the dangerous tenderness of a man who has never known love... but would kill to keep it.
