Publisher's Synopsis
Jessica and Jonathan, two students at one of Boston's most prestigious Universities, have been inseparable since that night on the terrace. Stolen kisses in stairwells, passionate moments, and the rush of first love...Jess never wants it to end. But it does. When Jonathan does not return to school after Christmas break, Jess is dumbfounded. He cuts all contact with Jess and all she is left with are questions. What secrets is he hiding? Did Jess ever really know him? That is only the first part of the story - The one Beth Cain is writing. Jonathan Sinclair and Jessica Adams are products of her imagination and closely inspired by her own history; a college romance cut short with its own share of unanswered questions. In Beth's book, Ghosts in the Stairwell, the intrigue of Jonathan's past sweeps Jessica into a web of deception and suspicion, while in real life, Beth struggles with the impact her writing is beginning to have on her own painful memories. Matters get even more complicated when Jack Patterson, her muse, reappears in her life. It is then, that Beth realizes, though she may be in control on paper, reality is something else entirely!
