The Gravity Between Us by Montrez

Loss changes you.

Sometimes it changes the world, too.

One day, my husband was beside me. The next he was gone. Not just missing, but forgotten by everyone. Everyone but me. Grief cracked something open. Now the world around me is shifting. Light bends. Time falls. Shadows watch. But I still remember him. I don’t know what I’m stepping into. But I know one thing. I’ll find him, or I’ll tear the seams of reality trying.

The Gravity Between Us is a modern fantasy romance about the kind of love that holds on even when memories fade and the world falls apart.
