About the Book
1885.
Adria Fontaine has been sent to recover goods her father pirated on the Great Lakes during the war. But when she arrives at Foxglove Manor–a stone house on a cliff overlooking Lake Superior–Adria senses wickedness hovering over the property. The mistress of Foxglove is an eccentric and seemingly cruel old woman who has filled her house with dangerous secrets, ones that may cost Adria her life.
Present day.
Kailey Gibson is a new nurse’s aide at a senior home in a renovated old stone manor. Kidnapped as a child, she has nothing but locked-up memories of secrets and death, overshadowed by the chilling promise from her abductors that they would return. When the residents of Foxglove start sharing stories of whispers in the night, hidden treasure, and a love willing to kill, it becomes clear this home is far from a haven. She’ll have to risk it all to banish the past’s demons, including her own.

Hello! Today on my blog I’m sharing the first line from Summertime Lilies by LM Karen: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2021/06/04/first-line-friday-185/. I’m currently reading The Seat Filler by Sariah Wilson so I’ll share a line from there. “I made it to my appointment despite the fact that I was exhausted because I barely slept.” Hope you have a great weekend! ❤
Happy Friday! I can’t wait to read Jaime’s book too! My first line is from “Sticks and Stone” by David James Warren:
“The pieces of two lives sit in my brain like they should fit together, but no matter how hard I press, I can’t get them to line up.”
I’ve never read a book by Jaime Jo Wright, but I’ve heard many good things about them! Today, I’m sharing the first line from Come Back to Me by Jody Hedlund. “Your father is in a coma.”

I love all of Jaime’s books. This one is outstanding!
My first line is from:
Along a Storied Trail by Ann Gabhart
Everybody thought Tansy Calhoun was heartbroken after Jeremy Simpson threw her over for Jolene Hoskins.
I have heard so many good things about this book and I cannot wait to read it! Intriguing first line! My first line is: “She’d Run Away. Rather than face him at the altar, she had taken her lady’s maid, ordered a carriage and run away.” It’s from All Arranged by Meredith Resce.
