Ethan Wate is adjusting to life without his mother.  Since her death, his father has taken to hiding in his study and wearing pajamas all day.  Ethan’s superstitious housekeeper, Amma,  and his hapless best friend, Link, are the only people he can turn to…until Lena arrives in town.

She is different than every other girl Ethan has ever known and he is immediately drawn to her.  Unfortunately, in the small, insular town of Gatlin all the reasons Ethan is intrigued by Lena lead to the rest of the high school despising her.  Will Ethan stand by the most important person to enter his life or will he succumb to the pressure of an entire town and go on living the same small life?

This is a sweet, sexy, supernatural romance wrapped in a gothic Southern novel.  A long, sumptuous page turner that will appeal to fans of Twilight, mysteries, and romance.
