De: Marcy Waldenville

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

From the glittering staterooms of HMS Titanic to the stately family home called Bliss… Jane Harrington boarded the great ship, with an attentive husband, expecting her first child and so excited to finally see her husband’s ancestral home on picturesque Albemarle Sound. When Titanic sank beneath the icy waters of the North Atlantic, it took so many of Jane’s dreams with it. Now, she must raise her child alone, surrounded by strangers in a strange land with only her loyal ladies maid, Bridget, at her side. Bliss welcomes her with its Southern charm. The house is staffed by Zelie and Beauman, children of a former slave who took care of the plantation for Olivia Harrington Calendar, Jane’s late husband’s grandmother. Zelie and Beauman wrap Jane and Bridget up into their lives and work to make Jane’s new life as comfortable as possible. But they cannot lift her from the profound depression that has closed over Jane and her unborn child. After a traumatic night with Jane reliving the terror she experienced during the sinking of the ship, her doctor talks to those around Lady Jane and advises that she needs something uplifting, something fulfilling to focus on until her child arrives. They turn their attention to the neglected house garden. Jane throws herself into project and the hiring of the perfect man to oversee the design and building of Jane’s Garden. Brennan Brown is just the man. Late of the Emerald Isle, he has made a reputation for himself as a good and fair man. But a secret from the past, a murder and deep family loyalty will bring more than flowers into Jane safe little world. Then, a devastating storm descends on the Carolina coast, destroying Jane's healing garden, and threatening the new love she has found with the handsome Irishman as the truth at last comes to light.
