Jim Aiken is a history professor and the scion of one of Charleston's wealthiest families. In the spring of 1994 he is still grieving over the death of his wife two years earlier. He plans to spend another summer in the seclusion of his beach house. But those plans change when he meets Joyce Brandeis and her teenage son, Nick. Over the course of the summer, largely through Nick's persistence, Jim comes out of his grief and learns to love again. But when an evil from his past returns, the new life that seems to be unfolding for him is suddenly shattered as the lives of his loved ones are placed in peril.

About the author
G.M. Frazier
10 books16 followersI have been writing fiction for the last twenty years and I am not a genre writer. My stories run the gamut from the supernatural to the sublimely real. The novelist who most impressed upon me the necessity of well crafted dialogue is Hemingway. The novelist who most impressed upon me the power of well crafted narrative is Pat Conroy.
From 1998 to 2000 I was Managing Editor at Genesis Press, which is one of the largest independent book publishers in the South. Among the many books I have edited are the autobiography of Olympian Bob Beamon, Let us Prey, Hunter Lundy’s book Let Us Prey on the fall of televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, and Louisa Dixon’s legal suspense novels, Next to Last Chance and Outside Chance. It was my distinct pleasure to work with Dar Tomlinson as the editor for her debut mainstream novel Broken, which had won the coveted Hemingway First Novel Award in 1994. I also edited Mary Beth Craft's delightful ghost story, Goldengrove, which was her debut novel. I have also edited several children’s books including Boss of Me: The Keyshawn Johnson Story, Diana Nyad’s biography for children about NFL star Keyshawn Johnson, and Libby Hughes’s biography for children about Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods: A Biography for Kids.

Excellent Love story with surprise
This book is well written. There is enough descriptive language to paint the picture without so much that u skip over it. I was surprised by the actions in the middle and pleased to find myself reading a mystery. Excellent ending.
