Publisher's Synopsis
Realizing the past will follow her wherever she goes... Tricia Langford finds the smallest of small southern towns to relocate for her fresh start. Working in a roadhouse on the edge of the swamp seems like a safer place to hide than where she'd been living. Discovering that the man she ran from has followed her to St. Denis parish rattles her newfound sense of security. Fearing she'll pull everyone around her into her trouble... R.J. Perot watches Tricia for days. He knows the look of a woman on the run. Hanging around her does more than further his investigation of her suspicious behavior. Her nearness does strange things to his heart, dredging up feelings he thought he'd long buried beneath a tough veneer of cynicism. Staying because sometimes the heart doesn't give you a choice... Their mutual interest in discovering the secrets of the past causes the curse of the Wakefields to cast its spell on Tricia and R.J. Together they struggle to disentangle their lives from the web of deceit that began over one hundred fifty years ago at Wakefield Manor. Can their love resist sweet madness when their hearts become entangled in the honeysuckle vine?
