All of her life, Linda Leigh has been a plain Jane-the kind of woman no one notices. That all changes when handsome college professor Geoffrey Manwaring falls in love with her. The only shadow cast over their upcoming marriage is Geoff's son Josh's stubborn refusal to accept Linda to his life-and his insistence that the unbalanced mother who deserted him years before will return to claim him. Everyone remembers how intelligent, witty, and beautiful Geoff's first wife was. Still, Linda is confident she'll be a good stepmom to Josh, once he lets down his defenses. But then the nightmares start. Visions of being burned alive that soon become hallucinations. The same dreams plague Geoff, then Josh, who continues to await his mothers arrival. Things go from bad to worse the day a woman in a red cloak comes up the lane and approaches the house. For she is the wife who walked out on Geoff four years ago. The mother whose memory Josh still clings to. The force of evil who wants Linda out of their lives-forever.
