"A girl, a ghost, and a mystery."
In the process of leaving her abusive husband, Lannie
Durant ends up in "small town" Iowa, and drawn to a
beautiful abandoned old house. She decides that this might
be a good place to settle and take charge of her life. It soon becomes apparent that the house is already
occupied by a handsome, amber-eyed ghost, Remy Devereux,
and soon Lannie finds herself in the center of a rivalry
between the irresistible ghost and the very much alive
chief of police, who may have had a hand in putting Remy
into the grave. Throw in an enraged ex-husband and Ms. Boyett-Compo's
smooth writing skills weaves together a fresh tale,
resounding with mystery, forgiveness, redemption, and a
powerful love that reaches across the boundaries of death
and life. Caution: There is one scene of abuse that is not for
everybody.
