Respect the hawthorn... Hana Brown is an architect with an unusual talent; wood speaks to her--literally. Dubbed the "house whisperer" by her satisfied clients who don't know her unusual secret, Hana has no reason to believe her next job could be her last. Lord William Hawthorn, the last in his line, has one more chance to right the terrible wrongs that overshadow his family home and threaten his life. Falling for the beguiling Hana brings her closer to the danger and he'll fight his growing feelings for her if it will appease the mysterious malevolent spirit and keep her safe from harm. Their only hope of survival means trusting their deepest secrets to each other before its too late ... and trusting the whispers in the wood.
