Investigating a noise in the attic of her historic home, Maggie Holliday encounters a handsome man in a Civil War uniform. He calls her "Isabel," seduces her in ways the shy academic had never dreamed of...then literally vanishes.

With every fleeting visit, Maggie's mysterious lover- Ethan-takes her closer to the edge of ecstasy and madness. Is he really a ghost? Far from chilling her, his touch is incendiary-it all feels so real and so very, very good. And so very familiar...

Ethan insists Maggie's the reincarnation of his long-lost love. And after a few incredible nights in his arms, Maggie is inclined to believe him. But does she dare surrender to a passion that transcends time, tragedy...and even death?

Hero: Ethan O'Malley
Heroine: Maggie Holliday
