Lavender Morning

Jude Deveraux captures the passions, intrigues, and secrets of a small Southern town—and begins a breathtaking new series!

Jocelyn Minton was only five years old when her mother died. After her handyman father remarried, Joce never felt lonelier—until she met Edilean Harcourt. Sixty years Joce's senior, Miss Edi was a kindred soul who understood her like no one else ever had. When Edilean passes away, she leaves all her worldly possessions to Joce—including an eighteenth-century house and a letter with clues to a decades-old mystery. The letter also reveals that Miss Edi has found the perfect man for Joce—a handsome young lawyer—and that a new life awaits her in Edilean, a small Virginia town. Curious to seek out her new destiny, Jocelyn moves to the tight-knit village and does indeed meet a man with his own hidden past. And as she pieces together the puzzle left by Miss Edi, shocking surprises about Joce's family's history—and her future—come to light.
