The Duke's Teddy Bear

Imagine a life where drifting off to sleep means your soul slips free of your body and takes hold of another vessel—whether a person or an animal. For Marshall Lidiance, this is no fantasy but an everyday burden, the lingering consequence of an incident from her past. Each time she loses consciousness, her spirit departs in search of a new host, and she must guard this strange condition as a secret no one can ever discover. Keeping that secret becomes infinitely more difficult, however, when Marshall's soul finds itself trapped inside the unlikeliest host of all: a teddy bear. To make matters worse, the toy belongs to none other than Duke Ludvillian, a man renowned for his icy, untouchable demeanor. Now caught in an absurd yet precarious predicament, Marshall faces a twofold challenge: unraveling the mystery behind what caused her soul to wander in the first place, and keeping her extraordinary secret hidden from everyone—all while living as the possession of a duke who offers warmth to no one.
