Roses for Chloe — Elaine Grant

A long time ago, in the deep South, Chloe Bienville stood at the window of her plantation ballroom, waiting for her lover to return from the war. Zach Brandon never came back. But Chloe is still waiting...

Years later. A talented architect-and Southern to the core Tyce Brandon devotes all his time to restoring the dilapidated plantation known as Caroline. The once-glorious mansion has obsessed the Brandons for generations, fueling a decades-old feud with the proud Bienville family. And now, the last Bienville--a no-nonsense New Yorker named Delaney--is flying to Louisiana to destroy the plantation and end the feud once and for all.

But neither Tyce nor Delaney expected to meet Chloe Bienville. A spirit who died brokenhearted and alone, Chloe has been waiting for a chance to be reunited with her long-lost love. Now, with the return of the last Brandon and the last Bienville, she hopes to bring the two families together and end her curse. But Tyce and Delaney find it hard to believe in ghosts-and even harder to fall in love. Until they discover Chloe's secret diary...unveil her hidden desires...and surrender to a passion that will shake the foundations of heaven and earth...
