Andromeda Andie Miller is ready to move on with her life. After ten years of wavering, she plans to marry her fiance and forget her ex-husband, North Archer, forever. But when Andie goes to his office and dumps ten years' worth of uncashed alimony checks on his desk -- her idea of closure -- he asks for one favor. A cousin has died and left North the guardian of two orphans who have already driven out three nannies. North needs her help. How can she refuse -- especially when he's offered her $10,000 per month!
Andie packs up and off she goes to middle-of-nowhere, Ohio. When she arrives at the monstrous house that has been carted from England to southern Ohio, she realizes that things are much worse than North anticipated. The place is a mess, the children, Carter and Alice, aren't your average delinquents, the house may be haunted, and the housekeeper is crazy, dangerous -- or both!
