BLURB:

Leslie Braddock feels responsible for her husband’s death. She is having trouble reentering the dating scene. Leslie travels back in time where she meets Sir James.

Sir James Winford is a three-time widower. He believes he is cursed and is certain death to any woman he loves. He has vowed never to love again.

Emily, the ghost of Sir James's first wife has unfinished business, and still lingers at Winford Manor. She wants to see her husband happy, and she wants to bring her murderer to justice.

Rose has loved Sir James since childhood. She must live with the unspeakable things she has done trying to make James see her as more than a child. She believes she is close to achieving that goal when Leslie shows up.

Leslie and Sir James share the experience of losing a loved one. Will Leslie be the woman to break the curse? Or will she be just another victim.

TEASER / EXCERPT:

Leslie’s room had a small potbelly stove. Lacey gave her a candlestick. “There are more candles on the dresser if you like, miss,” she said as she closed the door.

Leslie moved to the dresser and began to light the candelabra. “I don’t think I’m in Kansas anymore,” she said, raising it above her head, “and I’m just too tired to think about it tonight.”

She moved the candles to her bedside. She found the maid had already turned down the bed. She climbed in. The feather mattress felt good. She blew out the light and sank in. In no time she was asleep.

At three o’clock in the morning, Emily appeared in Leslie’s room. Wringing her hands, she began to pace. “You must be careful,” she said, “or Rose will kill you.”

Leslie sat up, suddenly awake. “Who’s there?”
