Opis

When her grandmother wills Deidre Laurant a crumbling plantation house, the writer jumps feet-first into the project without a thought to the consequences. Convinced to hire sexy contractor William Pendergrass, Deidre feels as if she is awakening from a decade-long nightmare and staring into a fairy-tale come true. Accepting the construction contract he'd wanted all his life was only an icing to the cake for Will after meeting the new owner of the sprawling plantation home. Deidre's as witty as she is beautiful, and Will finds himself oddly protective of the wounded bird he sees just beneath the surface. As their love awakens so does something within the house, an otherworldly force that seems intent to keep the lovers apart. Coupled with the hostility from the family of a man Deidre put away after he attempted to murder her years before, the house - and the relationship - seem too much to handle. Will Deidre allow herself to fall back into the dark slumber of the past years or will she find the strength to face the light...of Waking Up?
