Zora Calloway doesn't take risks - not with her heart, not with a man like Damon Arceneaux, nothing like anyone she'd have chosen for herself. She takes the risk anyway. She follows him home to New Orleans - into a family, a house, and a name people in that city don't say carelessly. She didn't know choosing love would cost so much.  Read it once for the love story. Read it again for the truth. What The Light Carries is a slow-burning psychological thriller about a woman who finally has everything she prayed for, and a buried truth that has been waiting longer than she has. For readers who like their romance dark, their houses haunted by history, and their last chapters impossible to put down.
Book One of The Bloodline. Ends on a cliffhanger that will send you straight to Book Two.
