Blue Moon by C.D. LedbetterRomantic Mystery/Suspense, ebook and paperbackMary Corbett's calm, orderly existence is shattered the moment she sets foot on an old, run-down Louisiana plantation. Even though she's never been there before, she recalls details about the house that only someone who actually lived in it would know. If that weren’t bad enough, she finds that her attraction to the other curator, Jack Windom, hasn’t lessened since they last worked together. In fact, as they spend time together on the estate, she realizes she’s falling in love with him. Unfortunately for her, he’s already spoken for.

When Magdalene continues to ask for help, Mary realizes what she has tried all along to deny—that she is somehow tied to this house and to Jack.
