Overview:
Planning her engagement party and wedding provides Lily Claire Bishop a reprieve from the exhausting burden of choosing a career. When her grandmother is injured in a fall, Lily is dispatched from Dallas to New Orleans to help run her musty architectural salvage shop, Under Lock & Key.
Inexplicable forces, which seem connected to some of the antique items from the shop, go to work to help Lily begin to open up to the value of her heritage. Still, she must face her swoon-worthy ex-lover, decide if her fiancé is shrewd or conniving, and work to correct the balance of things that, left untended, could cause both Lily and her grandmother to lose Camellia Manor.
SERIES OVERVIEW:
For over a hundred years, the Southern women who descended from the Chatelain family of New Orleans have honored a gift which allows them to literally bring enchantment into the lives of others. When the source of their charms is threatened, each woman struggles to trust her heart and follow her intuition. In a potential series of novels, each of which is connected to Camellia Manor, a contemporary generation of Armand women will each have to decide what they’re willing to risk to protect their legacy.
