Melanie Middleton's life has been turned upside down. First, she inherited a historic home on Tradd Street in Charleston. Then, she met a most handsome rogue named Jack Trenholm who has a devilish way of getting under her skin. Now Ginnette Prioleau, the mother who abandoned her over thirty years ago, has come back into her life. If only she could turn back the clock to the simpler days when being Charleston's best real estate agent was her only concern.

Being a top-notch broker like Melanie has its advantages. She knows how to spot a true diamond in the rough, and she'll do whatever it takes to seal the deal. So naturally when her historic childhood home on Legare Street comes on the market, it's no surprise that the interested party wants her for representation. Unfortunately, the client just happens to be her estranged mother.

Putting her feelings of betrayal aside, Melanie chooses to help her mom buy the property back and even goes one step further by agreeing to spearhead the home's restoration project. As the walls start coming down, Melanie comes to realize that there is more to this project than meets the eye.

With the help of Jack and her mother, she soon discovers a menacing ghost seeking revenge against her family. With no other choice than to combine their sixth senses, Melanie and Ginnette prepare to fight the haunting figure that has threatened the Prioleau women for centuries. With Jack by their side, they dare to cross the forbidden boundary in an attempt to save their lives. THE GIRL ON LEGARE STREET is the highly anticipated sequel to THE HOUSE ON TRADD STREET. Once again, White masterfully captures the essence of Charlestonian life in a haunting tale of betrayal, lust, and most importantly family honor. Through her vivid descriptions and spell- binding prose, she brings together the past with the present in a supernatural tale definitely worth the read.
