Wanting to do good for those who lost so much from the quake creates a tug of war within him, given the unexpected family strife.

Rather than laying her ghosts to rest where she suffered such loss, Jade finds herself confronting death all over again. This time her grief is mingled with an unnerving dose of terror—and this incredible man Dane, who unexpectedly awakens her heart to love again, is somehow right in the middle of it all.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/1595558526%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-3FTKSpZeXkn\u0026amp;color=%23934e92\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc; line-break: anywhere; word-break: normal; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-weight: 100;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dale-mayer-author\" title=\"Dale Mayer, Author\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDale Mayer, Author\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dale-mayer-author\/touched-by-death-audio-sample\/s-3FTKSpZeXkn\" title=\"Touched By Death Audio Sample\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTouched By Death Audio Sample\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dale Mayer","offers":[{"title":"eBook","offer_id":20240545480763,"sku":"B008CINCM0","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40696303288356,"sku":"9781988315959","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":40588501286948,"sku":"B008CINCM0-2","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"AI Narrated Audiobook","offer_id":40653137936420,"sku":"B008CINCM0-3","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0086\/7758\/9051\/products\/01Dale_Mayer_Touched_by_Death_PaperbackCover.png?v=1692745378"},{"product_id":"death-haunted","title":"Haunted by Death: By Death Book 2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeg Pearce is haunted by a death that may never be explained, … and so she can never truly be healed.
