Black Rose
Nora Roberts
Number-one bestselling author Nora Roberts presents the second novel of her In the Garden trilogy (following Blue Dahlia), as three women must discover the secrets from the past contained within their historic home...
Three women meet at a crossroads in their lives, each
searching for new ways to grow-and find in each other the
courage to take chances and embrace the future.
Roz is a woman of independent means who thought love was
behind her, but when romance takes her by surprise, she
won't allow anything to keep her from her second chance at
happiness.
A Harper has always lived at Harper House, the
centuries-old mansion just outside of Memphis. And for as
long as anyone alive remembers, the ghostly Harper Bride has
walked the halls, singing lullabies at night...
At forty-five, Rosalind Harper is a woman whose experiences
have made her strong enough to bend without breaking-and
weather any storm. A widow with three grown sons, she
survived a disastrous second marriage, and built her In the
Garden nursery from the ground up. Through the years, In the
Garden has become more than just a thriving business-it is a
symbol of hope and independence to Roz, and to the two women
she shares it with. Newlywed Stella and new mother Hayley
are the sisters of her heart, and together, the three of
them are the future of In the Garden.
But now that future is under attack, and Roz knows they
can't fight this battle alone. Hired to investigate Roz's
Harper ancestors, Dr. Mitchell Carnagie finds himself just
as intrigued with Roz herself. And as they begin to unravel
the puzzle of the Harper Bride's identity, Roz is shocked to
find herself falling for the fascinating genealogist. Now it
is a desperate race to discover the truth before the
unpredictable apparition lashes out at the one woman who can
help her rest in peace...
