Welcome back to Ames Crossing! The spooky riverside village that boasts paranormal phenomena, curses, ghosts, and a family of wise-women who work to keep the balance of good and evil in check. Twelve years ago, Arianna Beaumont fled Ames Crossing. Determined to start over, she built a whole new life for herself. Now as an archeologist, Arianna is happiest when she's digging into the mysteries of the past. A few weeks off to spend time with her family has turned into a surprising opportunity to dig deeper into the local legend of an infamous river pirate from the 1800s. Rafe Tremaine is thoroughly annoyed that his young daughter, Caroline, has found valuable antique coins in their backyard. To his dismay, word of her discovery has slipped out, and now there are amateur treasure hunters, and pirate enthusiasts sneaking into his yard. Worse, Caroline insists that a ghost is haunting her because she's discovered his hoard. Rafe reluctantly agrees to allow Arianna to dig a test pit on his property. He certainly doesn't believe in ghosts, and he's suspicious of any beautiful woman. Arianna is only interested in the excavation, and not some surly auto mechanic who runs hot one moment and cold the next. No matter how attractive he might be... As Arianna begins her work and unearths gold coins and other valuables, it soon becomes clear that the Reaver is not merely a legend. Her precognitive dreams have shown her that the Reaver is a malevolent spirit consumed with attacking anyone who disturbs his cache. Despite the danger and the odds, Arianna and Rafe are about to discover that a chance at finding true love is infinitely more precious than any pirate's treasure.

Sane, happy, newly-married men don't jump from twelfth-floor windows. On the other hand, had Charles Trafton been sane at the end? It began only five days after he had been married. Sarah Trafton was asleep dreaming; she had awoken, heart pounding with shock, to a frightful sound. In a woman it would have been a scream; in Charles it was a groan that mounted and quickened and grew, so that only Sarah's sharp cry and wild reaching for the lamp stopped it from turning into a shriek. After that Charles was never free from nightmares. He could only dispel them with alcohol, and that vicious circle had seemed to ruin him utterly. He refused to go to a psychiatrist - but a few weeks after his death a psychiatrist came to see Sarah. Charles had in fact been to see him, three times, and he had been frightened that his wife was going to kill him.
