Derrick Lawley was the best estate lawyer in the city—sharp, ruthless, and utterly fearless when it came to twisting the law to his advantage. But his latest client, a secretive billionaire with a bizarre clause in his will, offered Derrick a challenge even he couldn’t resist: a contract designed to outlast death itself.
One fatal heart attack later, Derrick finds himself still bound to the deal… as a ghost. Tasked with delivering a soul to satisfy the contract’s chilling terms, Derrick must haunt the designated heir—Atticus Bellamy—into compliance. But the deeper he delves into the Bellamy family’s tangled past, the more the lines between duty and morality blur.
With a demonic enforcer watching his every move, a haunting that unravels in ways he never anticipated, and the gnawing suspicion that he’s been misled from the very start, Derrick’s race against an impossible deadline pushes him to question everything—especially his own role in the twisted game.
What happens when the ultimate contract lawyer becomes a clause trapped within the fine print?
And when you can no longer trust the terms—or yourself—how do you escape a deal with no way out?
