Synopsis
THE FOURTH SPELLBINDING NOVEL IN THE CAPTIVATING SAGA OF THE CUTLER FAMILY, FOLLOWING DA WN, SECRETS OF THE MORNING AND TWILIGHT'S CHILD. Happy and innocent, Dawn's daughter Christie has grown up in the safest, most loving of homes. Yet Christie can't help feeling as if a dark cloud hovers over Cutler's Cove — a cloud whose origins lie in her family's troubled history and the many questions no one, not even Dawn, will answer. Only one person can always chase away her blues: Gavin, Daddy Jimmy's young and handsome stepbrother. But Christie's world is destined to change in one harsh night. Shocked to discover Uncle Philip's unbrotherly love for her mother, she is shattered at the way he now looks at her. Desperate and heartbroken she turns to Gavin, who travels with her to The Meadows, the plantation where Christie was born. But The Meadows is blighted by its own dark secrets. As black storms of evil gather around her, Christie must struggle to break the cruel bonds of the past and defy the curse that has haunted Cutler's Cove for generations... --back cover
