About the book
Lavinia Murphy fled a brutal St. Louis orphanage with four younger "siblings" and learned a spiritualist's ways from the carnies and gypsies she met on the road to New York City. Transformed as the mysterious Countess Lovaenya, she has built a safe haven for herself and her troubled family when she is suddenly confronted by a phantom more fearsome than any she's ever conjured in her shadowy parlor. Edward Stuyvesant-French—the illegitimate son of Lavinia's wealthiest, and most frequent client—has vowed to destroy her. To protect her family, Lavinia will enter into an uneasy bargain with the powerful and bitter Edward that forces her to understand that beyond the darkness of a troubled soul may lie a heart aching for comfort, acceptance, and healing love.
