Simone O'Henley, recuperating at a remote lakefront cottage after a devastating heart break, finds anything but rest. The noises and moans she hears coming out of a nearby grove of trees terrify her, but are soon tempered by the company of handsome Jackson Taylor. The locals have never heard of him and are convinced he's a land developer ready to snatch up their land at the first opportunity. He convinces Simone he's a simple caretaker looking over land for a friend. Which is he? The suspense leading to the answers almost causes Simone to lose her mind, but in the end true love ends all her questions.
