Highlands, Pennsylvania has a deadly secret and Alexaundra Jerdan’s life hangs in the balance as she digs away at the truth!
Alexaundra Jerdan has returned to Highlands. Born and raised there in the local orphanage, she left after her high school to pursue a college degree that led to a career as a stockbroker. She’s returned to her hometown to find peace and quiet, and begin a new career…in writing.
The need for research leads her to the town library where she finds solitude in the Lincoln Room. Most of the townspeople avoid this room…it’s reputed to be haunted by a host of women who have died here by means of a secret rite.
But Alex isn’t afraid of ghosts so the empty room suits her perfectly. She’s able to dive into her research without interruption. When a librarian assistant brings her a book found in the stacks, Alex begins a course of discovery that leads her straight to…
Seth Kizer, Highland’s handsome sheriff. He’s dedicated to his job. He’s proud to be a Kizer, and he’s relentless in one thing–warning Alex to stay away from the Lincoln Room. Will his warnings–as well as his family’s secret–prevent him from getting close to Alex once she learns the truth about her hometown’s history?
The ghosts of the women who have died there begin to appear to her. All of them have the same plea – they want her to read the diary. They want her to know that she’s the only person who can help the next woman to be sacrificed…the one who got away.
