Lexie doesn't believe in curses -- or blessings, for that matter. But when she arrives on the island in January of 1942 she finds a mysterious intruder living in the family cottage. With German subs threatening U.S. ships along the coastline, a stranger stalks Lexie. What does she have that anyone would want? Russell Parker, a childhood friend, has become the superintendent of the Jekyll Island Inn and keeper of the club members' secrets -- including the secrets of Lexie's family. As Lexie and Russell seek to uncover the truth surrounding the cottage's curses -- and identify the motives behind the phantom stranger -- an unexpected romance blossoms. But can they act in time? Or will Lexie become the next victim of the Gilded Curse?
