Midnight Bayou, by Nora Roberts:
Ghostly romance MIDNIGHT BAYOU interweaves a tragic 1899 love story with modern day courtship when Declan Fitzgerald abandons his Boston law practice to restore an antebellum Louisiana plantation hall to its former glory. Once he meets young Lena Simone, a Cajun who owns a bar in the New Orleans French Quarter, Declan finds that he need not wait till summer for things to get hot and steamy. Challenged by the irate spirits of his new home and the spirited independence of his new love, Declan conquers both with strength of character, true grit, and gracious sensitivity.
