Gregory tried to become immortal, but his spell went wrong and transformed him into a bodiless spirit. For five hundred years, he's roamed the world trapped between life and death, cut off from all human contact — until he meets Linda, a young psychic who can feel his presence.

Shy, lonely Linda hasn't felt a man's touch for a long time. Then one night, a gorgeous man appears to her in a vivid, erotic dream...and the next day, she hears his voice in her mind. At first, Linda thinks she's going crazy, but she can't ignore the man's desperation, his hunger for human contact. When he asks her to open her mind to him, she can't refuse.

By inhabiting Linda's body, Gregory discovers, he is able to feel again. After five hundred years without pleasure, he is overwhelmed by the sensations. Linda, meanwhile, discovers that having Gregory's spirit inside her is surprisingly erotic. Though she can't see him, she can sense his essence moving through her, even feel his hands on her body. Before long, she finds herself falling in love with this strange, lonely, passionate man. As her feelings grow, Linda vows to help Gregory escape the empty half-life of a wandering soul and become human again...but to save him, she must make a terrible sacrifice.
