Back in college, Jane Lewis would have given anything to be like homecoming queen Connie Bryan. Instead, she was just Plain Jane - overweight, frumpy, and painfully shy. That was then. Today a lovely and confident Dr. Jane Lewis has a thriving psychotherapy practice, her own radio show, a beautiful old house, and her affectionate dog, Olive, to keep her company.

Jane has never forgotten Michael Sorenson, the boy she'd admired from afar in college. Now, he's inspiring her to hope for a future together. She's also never forgotten the brutal, unsolved attack that ended Connie Bryan's life and haunts Jane still. Suddenly, the present collides with the past, as she finds clues into the identities of Connie's attackers - clues that send her into a world of risk and excitement, challenging her to become a truly extraordinary woman...if she dares.

New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels dishes up the fantasy of every awkward, spotty, nerdy young woman who dreams of one day becoming a beautiful swan. Jane Lewis's life is perfect. Isn't it? No longer the overweight, frumpy, painfully shy girl she once was, Jane has it made with a thriving psychiatric practice, a popular radio call-in show, and now the attentions of the hottest boy in high school who has since grown into one seriously seductive man. So what's wrong? Jane is haunted, unable to forget one horrific night in college when she was powerless to protect her friend. And now it appears that Jane's home is haunted, too--for real. Perennial favorite Fern Michaels takes readers for quite a ride with Plain Jane, a suspenseful romance featuring a retired police dog you can't help but love, a couple of crusty crime writers with no need for Viagra, a supportive and oh-so-sexy love interest, and a restless spirit with a need to put the past to rights. A winning combination indeed!
