A Harper has always lived at Harper House, the centuries-old mansion just outside of Memphis. And for as long as anyone alive remembers, the ghostly Harper Bride has walked the halls, singing lullabies at night…
Hayley Phillips came to Memphis hoping for a new start, for herself and her unborn child. She wasn’t looking for a handout from her distant cousin Roz, just a job at her thriving In the Garden nursery. What she found was a home surrounded by beauty and the best friends she’s ever had—including Roz’s son Harper. To Hayley’s chagrin, she has begun to dream about Harper—as much more than a friend…
If Hayley gives in to her desire, she’s afraid the foundation she’s built with Harper will come tumbling down. And that wouldn’t be the only consequence, since her dreams are tangled up with Roz and the nursery. Hayley will have to put the past behind her to know her own heart again—and to decide whether she’s willing to risk it…

Amelia, the psychotic ghost who haunts the grounds of Harper House, is once again gathering strength, and this time she has set her sites on Hayley Phillips, a young mother living in the Harper mansion with her young daughter, Lily. Although the man-hating Amelia has never harmed children and seems to identify with unmarried Hayley, things change when Hayley's friendship with Harper Ashby turns romantic, and possession -and things far more sinister -become new aspects in the mystery. Although the story of Hayley and Harper stands on its own, this final book of Roberts's ghostly -In the Garden - trilogy is so closely linked to its predecessors ("Blue Dahlia", "Black Rose") that readers will want to read them in order. Roberts lives in Keedysville, MD.Copyright 2005 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.

Hayley loves her life in Memphis: her precious baby girl, Lily, her job at the In the Garden nursery, and her close friendships with her boss, Roz, and coworker Stella. Hayley isn't about to risk all this on the chance that Roz's son, Harper (his mother's last name), might be interested in her. But when her desire for Harper finally proves to be too strong to resist, Hayley discovers not only that Harper feels the same about her but also that everyone is delighted to see them together. In fact, the only one who seems upset by her new relationship is the "Harper Bride" ghost, who, after nearly a century of unthreatening behavior, is suddenly turning violent. Now if Hayley wants her budding romance to flourish, she must find a way to root the Harper Bride out of all of their lives. The consistently excellent Roberts brings her In the Garden trilogy to a spooky, sexy conclusion with this spellbinding romance that beautifully celebrates the power of love in all its guises.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2005, American Library Association.)
