Lillian heads to the South, leaving Donovan Ross, an angsty potential lover, behind. After she finds her mother's old journal at Magnolian and learns a shocking secret, Lillian resolves to find out what happened nearly forty years ago to her mother's African American lover, Samson Jones. Mysterious accidents and threats make her wonder whom she can trust: her enigmatic distant cousin Willoughby Tate, who is running his father's gubernatorial campaign, her Aunt Lorelei, who warns of a dire future, the ghost who beckons her in the night, or her father's voice in the recurring dream that will not let Lillian rest.
I write gothic romance reminiscent of the early authors of the genre, but my heroines have cell phones and Facebook--unless I'm writing historical gothics, of course. Then, no cell phones are allowed; instead, my heroines have to deal with uncomfortable gowns, opium loving heroes, family curses, and rutted roads. I've penned a couple of regular romances, but my characters usually want graveyards, murder, mouldering ancestral mansions, and isolated spaces.
