Lavender Morning

Lavender Morning

Jude Deveraux “instinctively knows what every woman is searching for—her own knight in shining armor” (Publishers Weekly). That’s why fans will be swept away by Lavender Morning, as this “master storyteller” (The Literary Times) proves once again that her “touch is gold” (Publishers Weekly). Jocelyn Minton’s mother grew up enjoying the privileges of vast wealth, where the luxury of private school, elegant teas and country club dances were nothing out of the ordinary. Yet she forswore her inheritance to marry a handsome laborer. Sadly, she died when Jocelyn was very young, but her father’s remarriage to a woman from a background similar to his own brought the motherless girl to the attention of Edilean Harcourt. The wealthy spinster made Jocelyn her protégée, and often regaled her with stories of the dashing man she loved and tragically lost amid the chaos of World War II. Years later, when Jocelyn inherits Miss Edi’s home in Virginia, she finds a note from her dear friend promising that there, waiting, would be her one true love. Instead, Jocelyn finds two men soon vying for her affections—and the stunning solution to a mystery that will change her life forever.
