Rachel Sevier, a lonely thirty-two year old inventory specialist, travels to Wynnedower Mansion in Virginia to find her brother who has stopped returning her calls. Instead, she finds Jack Wynne, the mansion's bad-tempered owner. He isn't happy to meet her. When her brother took off without notice, he left Jack in a lurch. Jack has his own plans. He's tired of being responsible for everyone and everything. He wants to shake those obligations, including the old mansion. The last thing he needs is another complication, but he allows Rachel to stay while she waits for her brother to return. At Wynnedower, Rachel becomes curious about the house and its owner. If rumors are true, the means to save Wynnedower Mansion from demolition are hidden within its walls, but the other inhabitants of Wynnedower have agendas, too. Not only may Wynnedower's treasure be stolen, but also the life of its arrogant master, unless Rachel can save them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295613956469,"sku":"9780988471474","price":20.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780988471474_0fa9e87f-10ce-4040-a748-954919f8141f.jpg?v=1786016178"},{"product_id":"9798986239477","title":"Emerald Heart","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWelcome to The Emerald Heart Hotel\u003c\/em\u003e - The sign on the big gate is faded, and the gate is usually locked because the hotel closed two years ago when Mignon King lost her husband.
