author: Hope, Alicia
description: Book one in the Brande series, where a legacy can be a gift ... or a curse. While holidaying at Lorienne castle, Claire-Rose Brande becomes embroiled in an age-old mystery that touches her life, and her heart, in more ways than one.... Does she dare expose what lurks in the shadows? Can she really put an end to an age-old wickedness? And what does a holiday flirtation hold in store for Byron McAlister, handsome co-owner of the castle? Mysteries swirl wraith-like within the castle's walls, chilling all they touch. Are they imprisoned beneath the stone battlements forever, or will love triumph over the darkness, the deceit ... and the bitterness?
