Father Christian Hyman, the village priest in St. Francis Hill, is deeply in love with Misty Sumner. But his commitment to his calling means he can never have her. Christian must uncover what happened to his dear friend, why she’s afraid to leave her house, and won’t even look out the window that overlooks the steep valley beyond.

Misty’s life has changed completely since she moved out of her house and into a cottage at the edge of town, overlooking the valley. When she hears about a nun’s death, thrown from the high abbey wall into the woods near her home, many years ago, she must use her detective skills to help the spirit that haunts her.

Silas Baecere was a nineteenth-century village priest in St. Francis who loved Ada Gardiner very much, but he couldn’t have her either. Memories of his life with Ada haunt him day and night. Her familiar scent lingers whenever he’s alone in the house they once shared. Silas must come to terms with the kind of man he wants to be or lose Ada forever.

Ada Gardiner, a nun who is fiercely loyal to Father Silas, falls deeply in love with him, which means terrible consequences for both of them. Her work as a scribe has taught her many things about magical, healing herbs, and the people of her village rely on her for her medicinal wisdom. But it also makes some fear her and want to hurt her. Ada must face her deepest fear, being separated from her love.
