The one bright spot in her life is her step-daughter, Evie, a high-spirited sixteen year old who is the closest thing to a child Imogen hopes to have. 1849: Imogen Grantham has spent nearly a decade trapped in a loveless marriage to a much older man, Arthur. And then she discovers a pre-Raphaelite painting, hidden behind the false back of an old wardrobe, and a window onto the house's shrouded history begins to open. But when she arrives at Herne Hill to sort through the house-with the help of her cousin Natasha and sexy antiques dealer Nicholas-bits of memory start coming back. She hasn't been back to England since the car crash that killed her mother when she was six, an event she remembers only in her nightmares. 2009: When Julia Conley hears that she has inherited a house outside London from an unknown great-aunt, she assumes it's a joke.
