When bestselling author Devon James checks into a quaint bed-and breakfast in Connecticut, she hopes to put the spark back into her relationship with her fiancé. But her stay at the Stafford Inn offers other distractions. Deep in the night, Devon experiences a frightening vision that seems to speak to her. She awakes certain that long ago, something terrible happened there–and that it's a story she must tell. From the moment Devon begins her research into the inn's past, she is challenged by its wealthy and magnetic owner, Jonathan Stafford. He will use any means–including seduction–to force her to abandon the project. But nothing will keep Devon from the truth ... not the dark shadows of her own past, not her increasing desire for Jonathan, not even her growing fear that everything she loves–and her very life–are in danger.
