Mason Dupre has resigned himself to never being loved. Silver Whitney has fallen under a spell—the spell of graceful, ante-bellum Rosewood Plantation.

Since the day of his birth, time remains suspended on the ornate pocket watch Mason has inherited—until a woman's love can break the spell—and move the hands of time.
