About this ebook
Celebrity chef Jessie McCormick is late, lost, and stranded in front of a decaying house at the end of a forgotten road. Hoping to ask for directions, he steps inside—and hears whispers. Soft, urgent. Like the house is speaking.
Drawn upward, he climbs a single ladder rising through the attic ceiling.
Poking his head through the manhole, Jessie finds himself in an impossible void—vast and endless, filled with identical ladders and trapdoors stretching in every direction. Each one leads to a different version of his life. In one, his sister is in danger. In another, his long-dead mother is alive. In another still, he falls for a country chef who might just be his undoing—or his salvation.
But the attic doesn't just offer second chances. It asks what you're willing to leave behind.
Not every ladder should be climbed.

About the author
Award-winning author Mel Teshco writes the kind of scorching hot contemporary and science fiction romance she loves to devour herself—stories where passion collides with adventure and hearts are won against impossible odds.
When she's not crafting her next steamy page-turner, you'll find her gazing out her office window at fourteen acres of Australian paradise, complete with breathtaking mountain views that inspire her most romantic scenes. Her writing companions include seven rescue cats (former foster babies who decided to stay), two loyal dogs, and one majestic horse—though they all compete for attention with her three daughters and two grandchildren who keep life delightfully chaotic.
Her patient husband is still waiting for retirement, but Mel's too busy falling in love with new characters to slow down anytime soon.
