This is book 1 in a 3 book series.
It is 1890, wealthy yet delicate dreamer Annabelle DuBois resides in the prosperous waterfront town of Edenport, North Carolina in her mansion, DuBois Manor. This southern belle is the daughter of an authoritative shipping tycoon who handpicked Annabelle's governing seductive husband, Jonathan Taylor thirty years her senior. He is now at the helm of the empire. It is a marriage of business, not love, allowing Annabelle's heart to wander.
Annabelle's time alone is not go overlooked by the Mayor of the town while her husband finds his heart and body elsewhere. Jonathan must do what is required risking it all to preserve the DuBois legacy. Annabelle fills the void by allowing her spirited sister Olivia and her son, the only heir to move back in the manor. It seems Olivia's abusive husband, Adam Fallsworth, the co-owner of the company and a venomous alcoholic, frequently squanders company profits at the local Bordello. This move will test both sisters' yearning for love and lust along with placing them in mortal danger.
Annabelle weathers storms not unlike those that tossed the seas their merchant ships traveled. Her life will evolve in ways she never could have imagined, even as she surrendered her heart to forbidden love. And all the while, unbeknownst to everyone, the magnificent stained glass panels with their angelic depiction atop DuBois manors staircase keeps a vigilant eye on them.
Little did they know a former scorned slave placed a vicious voodoo curse on the family and stained glass that will last generations to come. Not even the spiritual presence of the stained glass can protect the girls from the curse that had remained dormant, until the death of one family member unleashes it and it slowly awakens destroying who and what it can.
