"According to legend, Portal Island was once inhabited by a bitter witch who guarded a demon portal. One day, a group of teenagers ignored the warnings and showed up on the island. Either they didn't believe the stories or wanted to see for themselves—nobody knows—but that night, four boys went to the island . . . none came back."

Everyone in Shasta Bay knows to stay away from the dangerous Portal Island, but Allison is new in town. So when a dark-eyed stranger tells her the legend of the notorious ghost who haunts it, she is skeptical. Allison doesn't believe in haunted islands and demon portals. That is, until she finds herself face to face with the handsome ghost himself.
