From Cassandra King comes her best book yet, a novel of dark secrets and
second chances, a writer's homage to the gothic classic Rebecca by
Daphne du Maurier.
When Helen Honeycutt falls in love with Emmet Justice, a charismatic
television journalist who has recently lost his wife in a tragic
accident, their sudden marriage creates a rift between her new husband
and his oldest friends, who resent Helen's intrusion into their tightly
knit circle. Hoping to mend fences, the newlyweds join the group for a
summer at his late wife's family home in the beautiful Blue Ridge
Mountains. Helen soon falls under the spell not only of the little
mountain town and its inhabitants, but also of Moonrise, her
predecessor's Victorian mansion, named for its unique but now sadly
neglected nocturnal gardens. But the harder Helen tries to fit in, the
more obvious it is that she will never measure up to the woman she
replaced.
Someone is clearly determined to drive her away, but who wants her gone,
and why? As Emmet grows more remote, Helen reaches out to the others in
the group, only to find that she can't trust anyone. When she stumbles
on the secret behind her predecessor's untimely death, Helen must decide
if she can ever trust--or love--again.
