Between Lives - Alexis McNeill

Love? Absolutely not. Cassidy Jordan has sworn off romance forever-and for good reason. The first time she turned eighteen, falling for the wrong person cost her everything, including her life. Now, as a second-timer sent back from the afterlife, she has one mission: to guide a stranger named Riley Davis toward the life he's meant to live. Only then will she have earned her place in eternity.

But no one warned Cassidy that helping Riley would mean getting close to him. Too close. As she spends time unraveling the chaos of Riley's life, she begins to see him not as just another assignment, but as someone who might be worth risking everything for. Riley is funny, kind, and stubbornly loyal-and completely oblivious to the ticking clock that governs Cassidy's return to the afterlife.

When Cassidy realizes she's falling for him, everything changes. The rules are clear: guide Riley, let him live the life he deserves, and leave this world when her time runs out. But her heart has other ideas. If she stays, she risks everything-Riley's future, her chance at eternity, and even her existence. Yet, how can she leave him when love has finally given her something to fight for?

Torn between duty and desire, Cassidy must confront the hardest choice of her second life: give Riley the chance to live, or sacrifice eternity for a love she's never had. With the clock running out, every moment counts, and every decision carries the weight of two lives. Dive into this unforgettable story of second chances, true love, and the cost of choosing your own destiny.
