Jacaranda Bend

by Charlotte Douglas

Paradise

Promised in wedlock to a man she barely knew, Rowena Elliot reluctantly accompanied her father to the distant shores of America - where fate soon left her orphaned and alone. She sought refuge at a sweeping, Florida estate in order to escape a loveless marriage and the dangers in an untamed land. But her haven turned perilous, for she was quickly lulled by the seductive spell of enigmatic landowner, Gilbert Lindsay.

Scenic Jacaranda Bend was far from the sanctuary it appeared to be. Its smoldering secrets and dark, twisted passions put both Rowena's heart and life at risk, as she found herself stalked by nameless, faceless danger. Was Gil her enemy - or the love of her life?

About the author

CHARLOTTE DOUGLAS has loved a good story since she learned to read at the age of three. After years of teaching that love of books to her students, she now enjoys creating stories of her own. Often her books are set in one of her three favorite places—Montana, where she and her husband spent their honeymoon; the mountains of North Carolina, where she has a summer home; or Florida, near the Gulf of Mexico on Florida’s west coast, where she’s lived most of her life.
