Elizabeth doesn't believe in ghosts.
But this time she has no choice.
Family counselor Elizabeth Conner isn't sure what to think
when Maria Santiago comes to her for help. Pregnant and
terrified, Maria claims to be visited each night by the
ghost of a little girl, warning her to flee. Her husband,
Miguel, a migrant worker at Harcourt Farms, dismisses her
fears as hormonal changes, but Elizabeth agrees to help by
contacting Miguel's employers who own the cottage where
the young couple lives.
Elizabeth immediately picks up on the deep enmity between
the two Harcourt brothers: Carson, the handsome scion
running the estate for his incapacitated father, and Zack,
the rebellious black sheep. While Carson is more
interested in Elizabeth than in her concerns, Zack
grudgingly agrees to help her look into the history of the
house.
But even as unexpected desire draws them together,
Elizabeth and Zack feel something dark and disturbing at
the house, a cloying scent and lingering chill of pure
evil. Elizabeth knows something terrible has happened here
before, something that has its roots in murder . . .
A haunting tale of murder, secrets, and romance.
