When postdoctoral botanist Cassandra Harris returns home to attend her father’s funeral, a strange man greets her as an old friend. The problem is, he was an imaginary friend. Now Cassie must come to grips with who—and what—he is, all while navigating an overbearing boss, a brother intent on bilking their mother out of the house, and her own grief. And it may be up to her to save his life. The Boy in the Bramble is an adult romantasy, complete at over 48,000 words.
