The scene in “Summer’s Growth” where Amber is walking into the Winston Manor for the first time. I love the history of the place with the spirits watching and the dark mystery of the place.

Blurb:
Sylvia Donovan is emotionally wounded from the unexpected death of her husband and still haunted by their last conversation: his request for a divorce and his confession of love for another woman.

Vince Wilshire, enchanted with Sylvia, is more than willing to do
what it takes to capture the heart of the hurting and untrusting Sylvia.
Can he help her forget the past and make her believe in love
again?
