Katie's widowed father, Nat, begins to awaken feelings in Helen that she had counted as dead. But why does Helen have such odd dreams of Lynda Byrne, Nat's dead wife? And why does she keep catching the scent of Linda's perfume? Why does Helen get the feeling that Linda is reaching beyond the grave to tell her something?

As Helen and Nat each explore the pain of loss and the joy of newfound love, Linda Byrne's ghost plays a bold hand, beseeching Helen to uncover the mystery of her death. But what Helen finds could make her the target of a jealous killer and a modern witch-hunt that threatens her and her family... and the magical second-time-around love that's taking her and Nat by storm.
