GEIST FLEISCH
​
A Haunted Hearts series book.
​
Drawn by promises of excitement and freedom, how could Callum resist Berlin?
​
It's the end of 1932 and the Weimar capital is the heartbeat of the gay world, where a man like him can find companionship and love, even in the shadow of looming political disaster.
​
Still, Callum feels unseen, until he discovers a place where the dead mix with the living, an organization devoted to studying the supernatural, and a man in each world that could capture his heart... or seal his fate.
