Victoria Grey is looking to make a new start after the death of her husband, but she gets more than she bargained for.She can't stand the thought of returning to her roots in Georgia and conforming to her old-fashioned mother's expectations. Instead, she chooses what seems to be a peaceful new home near Richmond, Virginia, and settles in to deal with her pain.But Tory is soon brought to the realization that she's not alone in the house. She meets and begins an awkward friendship with William, the spirit of a soldier who died late in the American Revolution. Slowly, their bond grows stronger, and Tory begins to wonder just how crazy she really is, being so content to spend her time with a ghost.Enter Steve Gundersen, a young man who lives just down the street. A little gawky, yet somehow charming in his shyness, he makes it obvious that he wants more than just friendship from Tory. She's flattered by his interest, and somewhat relieved at the thought of having a relationship with a live person; she eventually agrees to date him, something that doesn't sit well with William at all.This triangle grows more pronounced as time passes, with Tory alternately drawn to William and clinging to the prospect of a more normal life, but Steve is getting impatient. Unaware of William's existence, and frustrated by what he sees as Tory's slow response to his suit, he becomes more and more jealous of her time, until Tory finally realizes that she has to make a choice...before it's made for her
