Afterlight August 2026: Bring Me to Life

Our Afterlight August theme is . . . BRING ME TO LIFE!

True love never dies, but if I ever do, please bring me to life!

Our Afterlight August book is a standalone contemporary adult romance, and you’ll not want to miss it if you’re a fan of:⁠
  • Science Queen x Garden King
  • Second chance marriage romances
  • Romances with a little sci-fi twist

What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas. Sometimes you do bring back the guy you’ve just met and married because he made you feel alive. She’d know. She’d also know what happens once you start neglecting your husband because your very top-secret job is taking every single ounce of your time. What she did not expect to know is what it feels like to lose the person you love to an accident. And actually you know what? She doesn’t have to know. After all, she can bring him back, and so she does. There is one problem, though: he does not remember her. Some would think this is the end, but she sees it exactly for what it is: her second chance.
