Zoe Luce is a successful interior designer in the Arizona town of Whispering Springs who s developed an unusual career specialty-helping recently divorced clients redesign their homes， to help them forget the past and start anew. But Zoe knows that some things can t be covered up with a coat of paint. And when she senses that one of her clients may be hiding a dark secret， she enlists P.I. Ethan Truax to find the truth. Working together， they solve the mystery . . . and barely escape with their lives. But Ethan s exquisite detection skills are starting to backfire on Zoe: she never wanted to let him find out about her former life; she never wanted to reveal her powerful， inexplicable gift for sensing the history hidden within a house s walls; she never wanted him to know that "Zoe Luce" doesn t really exist. She never wanted to fall in love with him. Now， no matter how much she resists， Ethan may be her only hope-because the people she s been running from have found her. And just when Zoe dares to dream of a normal life and a future with the man she loves， her own past starts to shadow her every step-and threatens to take her back into a nightmare.
