In the grand romantic storytelling tradition of Victoria Holt and Barbara Michaels comes a stunning new voice in fiction. With mesmerizing style and moody atmosphere, Diane Tyrrel spins a dazzling tale of a thoroughly modern woman who falls in love with the house of her dreams--only for it to turn into her ultimate nightmare...

But then come the threatening notes, the phone hang-ups--and the harassment. Someone doesn't want Stacy in the house, and will stop at nothing to see her leave. But not just the house, Stacy slowly realizes. Someone wants her gone--permanently...
