In the sweltering heat of Misty Ridge, Texas, Fern Fargo is just trying to make a living. As the owner of Fargo’s Finds, she spends her days haggling over chipped porcelain, dodging the local gossip, and trying to ignore the "Noise"—the constant, headache-inducing chatter of the local ghosts.

As the owner of Fargo’s Finds, she spends her days haggling over chipped porcelain, dodging the local gossip, and trying to ignore the "Noise"—the constant, headache-inducing chatter of the local ghosts. Being a Medium isn’t a gift; it’s a customer service job where the customers are dead and refuse to leave the store. Fern’s plan was keep her head down, pay the electric bill, and hope her grandmother’s ghost, Nan, stops haunting the grandfather clock long enough to let her date a normal human. Then Roman walked in. He’s tall, dark, and terrifyingly expensive. He isn’t looking for an antique; he’s looking for his property. Specifically, the cursed Iron-Bound Cabinet sitting in Fern’s living room. Roman is an Arch-Duke of the Seventh Circle, a High Demon with a gaze like a forest fire and a temper to match. He claims the Cabinet contains his True Name, and he wants it back. There’s just one The Cabinet is soul-locked to the Fargo bloodline. Fern is the only one who can open it, and opening it might just level the entire town. Now, Roman is stuck in Misty Ridge. He’s sleeping in Fern’s guest room, reorganizing her inventory by "method of death," and fixing her roof shirtless in ninety-degree heat. But Roman isn't the only one who wants the Cabinet. The Fae are encroaching from the bayou, and they don't care about property rights. As the walls close in, Fern finds that the only thing louder than the ghosts in her head is the silence Roman brings—and the dangerous, electric pull she feels toward the monster living in her house. He was supposed to be the enemy. But in a town full of ghosts, the Demon might be the only thing that makes her feel alive.
