Puzzling little book. Devereaux can't decide whether she's writing a horror story, a psychological study, or a wacky romance, and tries to combine them in an ungainly, uneven tale. A writer of popular fiction has been blocked since his wife's death and hires a spunky young woman with a story of the occult that he thinks he wants to research further, but it takes turns neither of them could have predicted.

Since his wife's death, world-famous author Ford Newcombe has lived a solitary life, void of creativity-or love. Then Jackie Maxwell tears down the walls of his isolated world with her sassy wit and fierce intelligence. Ford's heart is touched by his vivacious assistant-and his imagination sparked by her knowledge of a strange story that drives them to a small North Carolina town brimming with secrets. There, they will trace the mystery of a woman said to have loved the devil himself...and discover not only the truth about a crime from the past-but a passion that holds the promise of a new life together.
