The town of Crow's Haven is a place where friendly smiles greet you at every corner, and where everyone is someone's friend. Or so they thought. Hidden behind the wraparound porch screens and polished, oak doors lies secrets tainted with blood. A woman's murder hangs over the town like a dark cloud, and three families are caught in its shadow, while simultaneously trying to maintain their reputations.
Behind the controversy lies a one-hundred and sixty-year-old mansion, now a small town Inn, and once owned by a prominent Crow's Haven family who fell to ruin. Now left is the heir, Gabriel Winterbrook, who was a victim of circumstance and lies.
Now after several years, the prodigal son returns to the quaint Louisiana town and he is now reconnected to a place he promised he would never tread on. But with slow acceptance of his future, comes a threat that will soon destroy it.

Struck by her windfall, Octavia Stiles had been thrust as the new owner of Morning Glory, given to her by her Great Aunt, for reasons unknown. Now, she must navigate the lively world of inn-keeping, work on her blogging, and not let her employees and greedy relatives drive her insane. She also has to work shoulder to shoulder with her new co-owner, a famous man with two names, and a sad past.

And when someone emerges, threatening everyone's safety and taking a life of a friend, Octavia and Gabriel must race to find the killer, working alongside a fangirl psychic, a washed-up private eye, and a suffering spirit that haunts Morning Glory's halls.
