Ingrid Friersen took the renovation job from Greenewyrd Luxury Limited to keep herself and her Akbash dog off the streets and fed. But small town Kroning hid more secrets than a ruined Gilded Age mansion and no one wanted her poking through the past to find the answers. Fighting ghosts from her own past added to her troubles. Explaining those ghosts and the old choices that haunted her only added to the mounting list of obstacles in her way. An outsider wary of trusting. A small town desperately in need of a miracle. A ruined mansion that might one day become a luxury resort. Everything would turn out fine, as long as no one asked about the sword Ingrid carried in her car, and why the Akbash saw things that weren't actually there amongst the tumbled bricks and crumbling façade of Everlasting Manor.
