Just as Alix Madsen is finishing up architectural school, Adelaide Kingsley dies and wills her, for one year, the use of a nineteenth-century Nantucket house. The elderly woman's relationship to the Madsen family is a mystery to the spirited Alix, but she accepts the quirky bequest, in part because it gives her time to plan her best friend's wedding. But it seems that Adelaide Kingsley had a rather specific task for Alix: to solve the strange disappearance of one of the Kingsley women, Valentina, more than two hundred years ago. If that wasn't trouble enough, Alix must deal with the arrogant architect Jared Montgomery, who is living in the property's guesthouse.
