Shortly after the end of the Civil War, lovely Amanda Trent arrives at her cousin's Louisiana plantation to find Amelia dead by mysterious circumstances. Amelia's widower, Jason Monteigne, harbors a darkness in his heart. But Jason isn't the only one on the war-torn grounds with secrets. When inexplicable things start to happen, Amanda fears the home is haunted and that she's being guided from beyond into a dead woman's life, a dead woman's romance—and, quite possibly, a dead woman's grave... Ensnared in a web of mystery, passion and hidden desire, Amanda vows to unravel the truth about her cousin's death, and to discover what it is that haunts Jason's every waking moment.
