448 pages

Summary from Goodreads:
Three plantations. Two wishes. One ancient
curse.




All her life, Barrie Watson has been a virtual prisoner in the house where she
lives with her shut-in mother. When her mother dies, Barrie promises to put
some mileage on her stiletto heels. But she finds a new kind of prison at her
aunt’s South Carolina plantation instead--a prison guarded by an ancient spirit
who long ago cursed one of the three founding families of Watson Island and
gave the others magical gifts that became compulsions.



Stuck with the ghosts of a generations-old feud and hunted by forces she cannot
see, Barrie must find a way to break free of the family legacy. With the help
of sun-kissed Eight Beaufort, who knows what Barrie wants before she knows
herself, the last Watson heir starts to unravel her family's twisted secrets.
What she finds is dangerous: a love she never expected, a river that turns to
fire at midnight, a gorgeous cousin who isn’t what she seems, and very real
enemies who want both Eight and Barrie dead.
