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.
"...I enjoyed this romance. The author intricately crafted a love anyone would want to experience. I loved the twists and turns that brought the characters to live with every word. I highly recommend Invincible Love and the writing of Ms. Graham."

"Engrossing and smoldering hot! INVISIBLE LOVE is an enjoyable fantasy romance."
"AJ Graham's take on the topic was fresh and well done... a short, satisfying tale that I’d recommend to anyone who is in the mood for something steamy."
"To me, this story is a bit of Beauty and the Beast with a smidgen of The Sixth Sense. Maybe not the best comparison, but if you read it; you will see! I don't want to give any of the story away, but if you are looking for something fresh, this is a great place to start. It's so much more than what you'd expect. There is plenty of emotion, but not a lot of drama. Fear and sacrifice, and so much love. It was also a pretty fast read. I would definitely recommend this story!"
-- 5 Stars from Brandi, Amazon Review
"In this book, Linda doesn't realize that she is a psychic, or at least sensitive, until Gregory comes into her life. He has been in spirit form for over 500 years, not able to communicate with anyone, until he finds Linda. Their story is not your usual story but I enjoyed it and I think you will too. Definitely worth a read!"
-- 4 Stars from Yvette, Amazon Review
"This is a fabulous supernatural love story that gives you romance, steam, eroticism at its best. We get to see what has happened between Gregory and Linda along the way."
-- 5 Stars from Stephanie M., Amazon Review
"This is an enjoyable and quick paranormal ghost love story. Linda and Gregory's story allows the reader a chance to believe that love can really find a way."
-- 4 Stars from DLB2572, Amazon Review
"This is the first book I’ve read from this author and it was exactly what I was looking for. It has paranormal themes, steamy love scenes and interesting characters you root for until the final page."

Gregory floated above New York City. He stared through the patchy clouds, at the tiny skyscrapers and high rises below. At night, the city glowed with a thousand points of light, like a mirror image of the starry sky. Cars crawled through the maze of streets like ants through tunnels. How faraway, how unimportant everything seemed from this distance.
Wind howled around him. A few fat snowflakes spiraled down from the sky. Gregory felt no cold. He had felt nothing for hundreds of years. He wondered -- for the thousandth, the millionth time -- if he would ever escape this empty, gray half-life, or if he was doomed to wander the Earth as a spirit for all eternity, unseen, unheard. Alone.
He drifted down toward the city, like a feather on the wind. His feet touched the ground. He walked down the sidewalk. People hurried past, talking loudly, cell phones glued to their ears.
It was that time of year, between Thanksgiving and Christmas, when the whole of America seemed caught in a frenzy of commerce. People clutched brightly colored shopping bags filled with toys and the latest electronic gadgets. Store windows glowed with warm light. Signs boasted low, low prices to entice consumers. Passersby walked through Gregory's dim, translucent form as though passing through a cloud of smoke. Their thoughts and memories swirled through his mind, like leaves on the wind. He took no notice. The thoughts of the living were dull and repetitive, centered around the details of their hectic careers and their confused love lives.
He stopped outside an apartment building and looked up.
On the third floor, a window glowed with lamplight. He stared at the window, wondering why it held his attention. He felt a peculiar tug in the core of his being. Something drew him toward that square of warm, yellow light. He floated off the ground, hovered outside the window, and peered in.
A young woman sat upright in bed, legs tucked beneath her, an open book in her lap. Long, wavy hair spilled over her slim, pale shoulders, hair so dark a brown it was almost black. It shone with a soft luster in the lamplight as she twined a lock around two fingers. Her full lips were parted, relaxed, as her eyes moved over the lines on the page. She wore only a sleeveless, white cotton nightshirt and a pair of white panties.
Gregory stared. An ache of longing pierced his soul, so deep and sharp it was almost pain. How long had it been since he had touched a woman? How long since he had tasted soft lips, or felt his cock sink into a warm, welcoming body? The sight of this woman -- so delicate, yet so lush, like a tropical flower -- made him hunger for things he could never feel again. The hunger roared inside him like a caged tiger.
