This book tells the story of Mia Crane, a lonely but talented young graphic artist from a dysfunctional family, who receives an unexpected inheritance that brings her back to the small town of her paternal heritage, into the orbit of the large and exuberant Lyons clan, and most importantly into the life of playboy architect Drake Lyons. For the first time in her life she has a place that is truly her own and a chance for a new beginning, but there are those who, for a variety of reasons, do not want Mia staying in Waterford. Dealing with occult rumors concerning her deceased great aunt, an urban legend of Confederate gold hidden in her newly acquired house, and the jealousy of other women with designs on the new man in her life, Mia's decision to stay is fraught with questions and with potential dangers. The story asks whether the woman who has never been loved and the man who has never been in love can find happiness together in Waterford, and what treasures are worth risking...

D.K. Broster

Dorothy Kathleen Broster is best known for her historical novels. But there is a darker side to her writing, glimpsed in her early poems - "The Second of September 1792" is a fine example - and finding full expression in the stories she wrote after she had become a highly successful novelist. Sometimes - as in "The Window" or "The Pestering", or "All Soul's Day" - these are what we might call "explainable" ghost stories: apparitions or hauntings whose origin is to be found in some violent or unjust action in the past. Other stories, "Couching at the Door" and "From the Abyss", have little or no explanation, even in supernatural terms. Add to these an elegant reworking of the "Persephone" myth, "The Taste of Pomegranates", the downright bloodthirsty "Clairvoyance", and the psychological studies, "The Promised Land" and "The Pavement" which so well merit the heading "Madness and Obsession", and you have a collection to disturb and unsettle the strongest nerves.
