She even has a new friend in Hayley Phillips, the feisty young pregnant woman who turns up at Harper House, Stellas new home, looking for a job. More than that, Stella feels an instant attraction to In the Gardens landscaper, Logan Kitridge, who gets under her skin and makes her feel truly alive for the first time in years. But there is someone at Harper House who isnt happy about Stellas growing feelings for Logan - the Harper Bride, an unidentified woman whose grief and rage have kept her spirit alive long past the death of her body. Love and loss broke her mind, and in her madness, she will stop at nothing to destroy the new passion that Logan and Stella have found.
