It is February in North Carolina and Valentine's Day is fast approaching. The holidays are hard for Hope since losing her husband, and this one, in particular, will be difficult.

She and her resident ghost keep looking for clues to his hundred-year-old murder and as she continues to research her husband's death, she finds things that frighten her.

If all that wasn't enough, Hope is worried about one of her students, and when one thing leads to another, she ends up embroiled in a mess of a situation.

Will Hope be able to keep her daughter, Cori, her student, and herself safe or will danger strike before she figures out what's going on?
