An original gothic adult novel filled with mystery and suspense on the Outer Banks, written by bestselling author Gretchen A. Klein; featuring a love-gone-wrong story with hints of the supernatural, packed with murder and adventure on Cape Hatteras Island of the Outer Banks--now in paperback!

Michelle Rice takes a leap of faith by accepting playboy actor, Garrett Craig's invitation to spend the summer with him as his girlfriend on the Outer Banks. She is an out-of-work New York theater actor and is excited to explore the Island of Cape Hatteras and spend her days swimming, sunning, and enjoying her vacation. But, the Craig mansion atop the sandy dunes of Sea Isle holds many dark mysteries that threaten Michelle upon her arrival.

The young, pert strawberry-blonde soon learns that Garrett Craig had been involved with an island girl's unsolved fatal boating accident the year prior and makes a promise to Garret that she will help him find out who was responsible. However, danger ensues when Michelle gets too close to finding out the truth as Michelle then becomes a target of nightly visits from the same phantom that resembles the girl who was drowned.

Why is the dead girl haunting Michelle, and why has Garrett suddenly become cruel and secretive? Michelle decides to befriend his sister, Audrey and his old girlfriend, Kaitlyn to learn more about the Craig family and the mystery. The two other girls become cold and unresponsive to Michelle's acts of friendship, but a local, good-looking Outer Banker, Ryan Williams becomes her only confidant and resource in the perils of her summer vacation.

It turns out that Michelle isn't the only one with doubts about Garrett Craig and his well-to-do family. At the night of the big Sea Isle Yacht Club formal dance, Michelle's old theater friend, Bill, arrives and begs her to leave the island. He fears for her safety and feels the same threat from Garrett Craig as the evening of partying and dancing progresses. As the night comes to an end, Michelle learns that another murder has taken place right next door to the Craig mansion. Could Garrett be responsible or was his sister's boyfriend guilty all along? Who would want Kaitlyn dead?

It doesn't take long for Michelle to be given the final clue as to who the killer is as she realizes her nightly ghostly visits by the dead girl will lead her to the haunting truth!
