Can Ezra English and Jane Wintersmith break the curse from the past that shadows Summerspelle and find love?
After finishing her graduate degree in history, 24 year old Jane Wintersmith travels to her Alabama cousin's family estate, Summerspelle. She relishes the opportunity for summer employment and archival work, and she meets Linton Collins, a budding local photographer who helps take her mind off a failed love affair. A find in the cupola room of the house unleashes an old secret of rage and obsession that threatens to destroy Jane even as it binds her to Ezra English, a handsome but troubled local professor of history.
The passion between her and Ezra is frightening, and Jane wonders if it is real or only linked to the house. Jane must tease out the difference between love and obsession if she is going to find happiness and put the past to rest with Ezra's help.

Did not finish. As I was reading the phrase "facts not in evidence" kept repeating in my mind. The only evidence that one character is "arrogant" is that she keeps saying he is in her 'self-talk'. All of their interactions seemed short and polite. An employee at the coffee shop sits down with her without asking and asks intrusive questions but he's "nice"? At one point she asks herself if "the woman in the road" was right about "the Gray women". I went and re-read, there was no mention of "Gray women". The "woman in the road" told her that she"must be a Gray". (Because she had red hair. Seriously.) And the woman warned that she should leave "this place". That was it.
