It had been nearly two hundred years since the curse was placed on two lovers who lived on the Slayton Estate. The souls of the lovers had been forced to roam the earth forever unless three people found true love on that very site.

Angelina Maxwell knew nothing of the curse; she only knew that she often dreamed of things that came true. Her latest dream centered around a handsome blond man and a house with a run-down porch. She didn't know where the house was or who the man was, but it was clear he was out to hurt her, perhaps even kill her.

Carrying on the family business after the death of her aunt, Angie was shocked to find out she was in danger of losing her land and business. Old Mr. Slayton had passed away only a few days ago and he had placed a clause in his deed that said the entire Slayton Estate must be reunited upon his death. In order for that to happen and for her to keep her business, Angie learned that she must join forces with her nearest neighbor, the amazingly attractive, very blond Jared Maxwell.

Sworn to remain a virgin until she married and fell in love, Angie had serious doubts about living with Mr. Maxwell during the renovations on the estate. But what choice did she have? She could face a few months living with him in the large house or lose her business. Not wanting to lose "The Variety Vine," she was determined to keep her end of the bargain and her virginity as well, no matter what her housemate had in mind.

Jared Maxwell had never believed in love at first sight, until he met Angie. He also had never believed in ghosts until they began to see them on the estate. Someone or something was trying to kill Angie and there was no way Jared was going to lose the woman he loved after he had waited so long to find her.

Ariana Dupre has created a wonderfully romantic story spanning several generations with NIGHT VISIONS. Readers will be drawn into the events that place Angie and Jared in the middle of a ghostly lover's curse while they fight to sort out their growing feelings for each other.

Written with an eye for the unusual and a flowing storyline, this romantic adventure will have the reader wanting more from the very moment it begins. Ms. Dupre easily convinces us that ghosts do exist and true love conquers all.
