The Man She Dreamed

by M. Bauwens
No reviews yet. Be the first.

Cassandra doesn't remember how she got to the beach. She doesn't remember why she wakes up with sand on her skin, a seashell in her hand, and bruises she can't explain.

Every night, she returns to the same stretch of coastline—the same lighthouse, the same waves, the same man waiting for her at the shoreline. Timothy is steady, magnetic, impossible to look away from. And the dream feels too real to be a dream at all. And what's growing between them may be the only thing in her life that's ever felt true.

Then one night, she doesn't come back.

Her best friend Robin refuses to accept the silence—and the search for answers will take her somewhere no one is prepared for.

*The Man She Dreamed* is a haunting psychological suspense story told in two voices, exploring love, memory, and the fragile boundary between dreams and waking life. Some monsters wear the faces we trust most.
