Jacinth Villare is making a go of reclaiming her family heritage in a crumbling New Orleans mansion willed to her by a grandmother she never met, and filled with secrets darker than her wildest imagination. When a hunky neighbor moves in and seems to be too good to be true, wheels are set in motion towards a shattering climax that reveals family ties truly do bind...even from beyond the grave.
Part of the Harlequin Intrigue series, this was my first foray into the world of the venerable publisher of paperback romance novels. I found it surprisingly engaging. The romance elements were not overdone, and the mystery at the heart of the story was just raw enough to keep me on the edge of my seat, but tame enough to allow me to truly enjoy the ride I was being taken on by skilled author Joanna Wayne. I can't think of a better way to recommend the book than to confess that I can't wait to read more from the series!
