Spirit possession is easy to remedy. Possession of the
heart is another matter.
After vicar’s widow and natural medium Barbara Darke
loses her respectable teaching position, she reluctantly
agrees to become companion to her former pupil Emily, now
the bride of young Sir Arthur Haggard.
Once settled at Haggard Hall, Barbara finds her friend is
beset by ghostly voices and unexplained deaths. In a
maelstrom of dark spirits and wicked emotions, Barbara
battles to lay Emily’s ghosts to rest—both hampered and
helped by Arthur’s skeptical cousin Patrick, who provokes
and attracts her in equal measure.
It would be a mistake to trust a secretive, guilt-ridden
man suspected of driving his wife to suicide, if not
outright murdering her. And it could well be lethal to give
in to her own desires, confused as they often are with the
lusts of the dead.
But Arthur and Emily are in genuine physical danger, and
suspicion is falling closer and closer to Patrick—the man
who haunts Barbara’s sensual dreams. The man who stands to
inherit Haggard Hall.
Warning: Contains a medium whose body is open season
for spirit possession, and a scandal-ridden journalist who
only believes what he can see—and touch.
