A Telephone at Mannerley
At Mannerley, secrets don’t stay buried—and the past comes knocking!
For nine years, Mary and Mr. Singh have struggled with a childless marriage that's losing its spark. Hoping for a chance to clear her mind, Mary accepts Antoinetta's invitation to spend Christmas at Mannerley. But instead of peace, Mary discovers a half-brother she never knew—Pedro, a dashing Spaniard who vows to stand by her, come what may.
When an American Southern belle arrives claiming to be the rightful heiress of Mannerley, Mary and Antoinetta uncover a dangerous suitor pulling the strings. During a time where property was passed from women to their husbands at marriage, their only hope is a risky scheme to make Savannah fall for Pedro instead, and thus keep the estate in loyal hands.
The problem? Making two somewhat spoiled individuals fall in love is much easier said than done! The scrambling and scheming to save Mannerley has distracted Mary from repairing her tattered marriage. And to make matters worse, Pedro isn't the only character from the past who shows up with his own agenda…
