Amid the beauty of Charleston, not all is as it seems.
When her husband Liam is killed by a car bomb while their Celtic band is on tour in Charleston, singer and Irish beauty Alanna doesn’t quite know where to turn. Her father-in-law is threatening to take custody of the baby she carries, but Alanna knows she can’t lose the only piece of Liam she has left.
Alanna’s manager offers her a marriage of convenience to obtain U.S. citizenship and allow her to escape her father-in-law’s control. It seems like the perfect solution until she arrives at the family home of her new husband—a decaying mansion with more questions than answers.
Strange things begin happening that threaten Alanna’s life and the life of her child. Are they merely coincidences? Or is something more sinister at work?
A mysterious painting, a haunting melody, and a love stronger than death leave Alanna questioning where darkness ends and light begins.

What do you like about this book:
"Two souls bound and none can sever. This night song is for you."
Shortly after singing those words to the love of his life, Liam Connolly's life was incinerated by an horrific car bomb. Devastated beyond belief is his wife, Alanna, whose Celtic band has just begun to emerge on the national scene, booking tours weeks upon weeks in advance. Travelling back to Ireland with Liam's body is excruciating enough, but Liam's family delivers an unexpected ultimatum; live there with them in Ireland and give up her music, or have her unborn child removed from her custody.
Desperate people do desperate things and Alanna hurriedly accepts a proposal of marriage from their band manager, Barry Kavanagh, who whose legal expertise is invaluable as he promises to make sure that Alanna can maintain parental rights to Liam's son. But nothing about Barry or his family makes sense; Alanna feels isolated in the deteriorated coastal mansion where he decides they will live, and unexplainable accidents seem to plague her on a regular basis. Weirder still, is that Liam's friend Jesse who survived the bomb, but has very limited memory, seems to have morphed into someone they barely know, or do they?
"Though death will try to break our hearts . . . . . . . This night song is for you."
Captivating from the very beginning, I thoroughly enjoyed this story, having received a copy of the book from the publisher; the opinions about which, I have stated above, are entirely my own.
