    Spring returns to the world—and with it comes a quiet mystery hidden among the blossoms. 
    In Richard Le Gallienne’s hauntingly beautiful short story, a weary city dweller escapes the noise of New York and travels to a lonely stretch of countryside along the Connecticut coast. There he rents an abandoned colonial farmhouse surrounded by ancient apple trees, lilacs, and the shimmering silence of spring. 
    At first the orchard seems like the perfect sanctuary for solitude and reflection. 
    But soon something strange begins to happen. 
    While resting beneath the blossoming trees, the narrator hears a soft young voice singing in French among the branches—a voice that drifts through the orchard like a memory carried on the wind. No one is ever seen, yet the singing returns day after day, filled with a sadness that refuses to fade. 
    Compelled by the mystery, the narrator slowly uncovers the tragic story of a young woman whose love—and heartbreak—still lingers among the blossoms. 
    Poetic, atmospheric, and deeply moving, The Haunted Orchard is not a tale of terror but a quiet ghost story of memory, longing, and unfinished love. First published in Harper’s Magazine in 1912, Le Gallienne’s story captures the delicate boundary between the living and the past, where music, grief, and springtime beauty intertwine. 
    Narrated with warmth and sensitivity by Christopher Mireider, this classic supernatural tale invites listeners into a world where the wind through apple blossoms may carry more than the songs of birds. 
    And where some voices refuse to be forgotten.

    The only place to hide could be behind the truth. 
    No one can lie to Louisa Cobb. It's her gift. Her curse. Unfortunately, her stepfather forces her to use it to help him gain the upper hand in business. Comfortable in her luxurious lifestyle and high society position, she hasn't minded. Until now.  
    Louisa wants nothing to do with her newest assignment, Patrick O'Connell, the Irish tinkerer and scoundrel who stole a kiss—and her heart—years ago . Problem is, if she betrays her stepfather and sets Patrick free, she'll be cut off without a penny to her name. 
    Patrick knows he is captured because he invented a device to stabilize and direct the mysterious Eros Element. It's also why he can't lie, especially while looking into Louisa's sky-blue eyes. If he fails to recreate the device for Cobb, his closest friends' happiness will be at risk. 
    Back in Boston, Patrick stalls for time while Louisa uncovers secrets of her tragic past. It forces the two of them to engage in a treacherous dance on the edge of love and danger. A tango where one wrong step could condemn them both to everlasting heartache—and unleash an unimaginably powerful force that could destroy their world.
