Laura Flannery needs a vacation from her boring life and a break from nosy neighbors. So when a postcard arrives in the mail announcing the grand opening of a bed and breakfast in New Orleans, she decides to give it a try.

Deposited on the doorstep of what appears to be a beautifully restored mansion, Laura finds it odd the cab driver is so eager to drive away; and that's just the beginning... From a butler who seems to avoid any physical contact whatsoever, to a housekeeper who floats rather than walks, Laura can't help but start questioning her sanity. Then, when a man she's never seen before appears and claims he's her dead husband, she has to decide if it's time to head for the hills or stay and discover what secret past she has with Greenwood Manor and its handsome—albeit deceased—owner.
