A tortured soul meets a shattered heart....

Chloe Hicks' life consisted of an egocentric ex-husband, a pile of bills, and an equine business in foreclosure until a fire destroys the stable and her beloved ranch horse. What little hope she has left is smashed after the marshal suspects arson. She escapes the accusing eyes of her hometown, but not the memories and melancholy.

Jackson Hahn, Virginia Beach's local historian, has his eyes on the mysterious new woman in town. When she arrives in Pungo, he is struck by her haunting beauty and the raw pain in her eyes. Her descriptions of the odd events happening in her bungalow pique his curiosity.

The sexy historian distracts Chloe with the legend of a woman wrongly accused of witchcraft. She is drawn to the story and the similarities of events that plagued their lives. Perhaps the past can help heal the present. But danger lurks in the shadows....

After divorcing her abusive husband, Chloe vows that she will no longer let a man control her. She starts her own horse stables with the help of her personal horse trainer. Then the horse barn burns to the ground and everyone believes that she set the fire herself. Chloe escapes to Virginia Beach to get away from all the rumors. When weird things start happening in Chloe's rental she seeks out some help from the local historian.

Wynne brought some amazing characters to this story. Chloe is such a lovable and relatable character. She has a beautiful love for horses and a great independent spirit that I loved. It was very interesting going back and forth between Chloe's and Grace's stories. I think this was the part that was the hardest for me. This story definitely keeps you on your toes all the way through.

The audiobook is quite fabulous for this one. I always love when I have a good narrator and Sheckells does a wonderful job bringing these characters to life. I found myself just relaxing and enjoying the story. Sheckells has such a nice tone and pace to her reading. This is an audiobook I think everyone will enjoy so definitely check it out.

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Aubrey Wynne. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
