Melanie Middleton's life has been turned upside down.
First, she inherited a historic home on Tradd Street in
Charleston. Then, she met a most handsome rogue named Jack
Trenholm who has a devilish way of getting under her skin.
Now Ginnette Prioleau, the mother who abandoned her over
thirty years ago, has come back into her life. If only she
could turn back the clock to the simpler days when being
Charleston's best real estate agent was her only
concern.
Being a top-notch broker like Melanie has its
advantages. She knows how to spot a true diamond in the
rough, and she'll do whatever it takes to seal the deal. So
naturally when her historic childhood home on Legare Street
comes on the market, it's no surprise that the interested
party wants her for representation. Unfortunately, the
client just happens to be her estranged mother.
Putting her feelings of betrayal aside, Melanie
chooses to help her mom buy the property back and even goes
one step further by agreeing to spearhead the home's
restoration project. As the walls start coming down,
Melanie comes to realize that there is more to this project
than meets the eye.
With the help of Jack and her mother, she soon
discovers a menacing ghost seeking revenge against her
family. With no other choice than to combine their sixth
senses, Melanie and Ginnette prepare to fight the haunting
figure that has threatened the Prioleau women for
centuries. With Jack by their side, they dare to cross the
forbidden boundary in an attempt to save their lives.
THE GIRL ON LEGARE STREET is the highly anticipated
sequel to THE HOUSE ON TRADD STREET. Once again, White
masterfully captures the essence of Charlestonian life in a
haunting tale of betrayal, lust, and most importantly
family honor. Through her vivid descriptions and spell-
binding prose, she brings together the past with the
present in a supernatural tale definitely worth the
read.
Acclaimed author Karen White returns with the sequel to

Street.

premonition.
Melanie never wanted to see her mother
again, but with some prodding from her partner, Jack
Trenholm, she agrees-and begins to rebuild their
relationship. Together Melanie and Ginnette buy back their
old home. With their combined psychic abilities they expect
to unearth some ghosts. But what they find is a vengeful
dark spirit whose strength has been growing for decades. It
will take unearthing long buried secrets to beat this demon
and save what's left of Melanie's family...
