Secrets hide in the magnolia moonlight. Caro Talbot loves Belle Grove, but not the people caring for it, and things get worse when they invite Desmond Mason to research the house's history. Yet Dez is different from what she expects, and she becomes determined to help him solve the puzzle of the woman in the painting that's hung in the house for years. As Halloween approaches, Dez pries into secrets she'd rather keep, raising the ghost of her past. Caro has to decide whether to trust a man she hardly knows or run the risk of being eternally lonely.
