Jane Warren swore she'd never marry again even though plenty of perfectly respectable men would consider themselves lucky to end up with someone like her. Then again, the last perfectly respectable man to end up with her-her ex-husband-ended their marriage, not to mention Jane's belief in happy endings...

But she just can't muster the cynicism to resist William Andrews-a dashing, debonaire widower with two children of his own. Soon, Jane's doing what she swore she'd never do: Marching up the aisle, promising to have, hold, serve, and protect, 'til death do them part. But once married, Jane discovers that Andrew seems to be obsessed with his dead wife...

As Jane struggles to understand the nature of the powerful hold Andrews's first wife still exerts over the husband and children she left behind, she realizes that her life may depend on the answer. For someone would clearly like to see her follow the first Mrs. Andrews to the grave...
