After three years, Jace Montgomery is still grieving over his fiancée Stacy's

mysterious suicide. He hasn't been interested in another woman since her

passing, and her family still blames him for her death. While flipping through

one of her old paperbacks, Jace discovers a photo of a house stuck between the

pages, bearing the cryptic message, "Ours again. Together forever. See you

there." The note was dated the day before her death. Obsessed by the possibility

of understanding Stacy's suicide, Jace seeks out the property - Priory House, a

big brick fortress in Margate, England - and buys it.

It doesn't take long to learn that the house is haunted by a headstrong and

feisty ghost, Ann Stuart, whom he must tangle with if he's ever to solve the

mystery. Ann died under circumstances similar to those of his late fiancée, and

he has a hunch that there is a connection between the two. Through his own

investigations and with the help of a beautiful foreign correspondent who is

worn out by what she's seen in the world, Jace is forced to reconcile his

fiancée's life and her death. What follows is a satisfying and seductive

discovery of both time and love by one of America's favorite storytellers.
