HAUNTS OF THE HEART is an award winning Civil War ghost story for adults.


Highly recommended by Patricia White of Under the Covers Book Reviews:


"HAUNTS OF THE HEART is both contemporary and historical, a love story, a ghostly triangle and a real one, a murder, a suicide, an unlikely heroine, and a hero that is far from heroic. It is a splendid read. Written with power, verve, sensitivity, and insight, HAUNTS OF THE HEART opens new vistas in the romance genre--where, to my knowledge, it is unique (and most wonderfully so), breaking most of the established "rules" of what a romance should be and making us wonder why the rules were established in the first place. I wish each of you the joy of discovering Ms. Scott's work. It is incredible in its scope and vision. Deanna Butterworth is a heroine you won't soon forget--but possibly Anthony Linville and the Angel of Death will haunt you longer. Ms. Scott, you have engaged my mind and tugged at my heart."

The story...

Deanna Butterworth escapes the pain and indignity of dying in a cold, heartless hospital by fleeing to her beloved but now abandoned childhood home. But instead of peace and refuge, she finds the place haunted by two very lively ghosts. Neal, an amiable if confused spirit, steals her heart. But it is Anthony, desperate to hide his dark secrets, who threatens her soul. Snatched away to the past, Deanna must risk all she holds dear to uncover the treachery that has bound Neal and Anthony to her house since their deaths in 1864.
