Eighteen months after the crash that killed her husband, restorer Nora Whitlock takes the job no one else will: bringing a burned, abandoned 1897 mansion on the Maine coast back to life before spring.
She doesn't expect every clock in the house to stop at 11:14. Or curls of fresh-cut cherry on the stairs. Or the courteous, infuriating, entirely dead man who informs her on her second night that she is sleeping in his room.
Elias Wren built every inch of Wren Hollow by hand, and a lie he cannot speak aloud has kept him trapped inside it for a hundred years. The closer Nora gets to the truth about the night of the fire, the harder she falls for a ghost who can only touch her through the wood he carved.
But something else lives in the burned east wing. And this house has always kept what it loves.
