Summary from Goodreads:
Three plantations. Two wishes. One ancient
curse.
All her life, Barrie Watson has been a virtual prisoner in the house where she lives with her shut-in mother. When her mother dies, Barrie promises to put some mileage on her stiletto heels. But she finds a new kind of prison at her aunt’s South Carolina plantation instead--a prison guarded by an ancient spirit who long ago cursed one of the three founding families of Watson Island and gave the others magical gifts that became compulsions.
Stuck with the ghosts of a generations-old feud and hunted by forces she cannot see, Barrie must find a way to break free of the family legacy. With the help of sun-kissed Eight Beaufort, who knows what Barrie wants before she knows herself, the last Watson heir starts to unravel her family's twisted secrets. What she finds is dangerous: a love she never expected, a river that turns to fire at midnight, a gorgeous cousin who isn’t what she seems, and very real enemies who want both Eight and Barrie dead.

Excerpt 18:
Teaser Eighteen His voice was so soft, it was more like an echo as he bent toward her. His hands reached for hers. Their fingers brushed, and the returning clicked again, so loud even he had to hear it. How could he not hear it? The usual root beer and cherries smell of him mingled with the scent of salt on his skin. Barrie thought only for a second about how much breaking one heart could bear, but then his lips were almost warm on hers, almost touching . . .
