From #1
New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts—an utterly spellbinding tale about a woman who, though battered in both body and spirit, can never lose Hope…
Tory Bodeen grew up in South Carolina, in a small run-down house, where her father ruled with an iron fist and a leather belt—and where her dreams and talents had no room to flourish. But she had Hope, who lived in the big house just a short skip away and whose friendship allowed Tory to be something she wasn’t allowed to be at home: a child. After young Hope’s brutal murder, unsolved to this day, Tory’s life began to fall apart. And now, as she returns to her hometown, with plans to settle in and open a stylish home-design shop, she is determined to find a measure of peace and free herself from the haunting visions of the past. As she forges a new bond with Cade Lavelle—Hope’s older brother and the heir to the family fortune—she isn’t sure whether the tragic loss they share will unite them or drive them apart. But she is willing to open her heart, just a little, and try. Living so close to those unhappy memories will be more difficult and frightening than Tory could ever have expected, however. Because Hope’s murderer is nearby as well…

Review
“Roberts weaves a story like no one else, and if possible, she just gets better.
Carolina Moon is exceptional—a must-read.”--
Rocky Mountain News
“Carolina Moon builds a commendably brisk narrative energy and pace.”--Time
“Roberts may have achieved her personal best in this tense Southern gothic. As atmospheric and unsettling as a Tennessee Williams play…This is romantic drama at its best.”--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
