The Lady of Gladstone Manor

Jackson Belle, the son of a prominent family of landscapers and architects whose work has been the "Showcase of the South", goes to take what he thinks is a routine job for his father who is soon in bed after a fall. He soon finds himself going to Gladstone Manor, a home well known in town as a house that once would host grand balls and parties for the town. But is nothing more than a shell of its former glorious self.
Soon Jackson finds himself diving deep within the mystery of Gladstone Manor and its owner Brooke Langley. Brooke Langley's life at Gladstone Manor at one time was wonderful and she enjoyed the many memories she had as a child, watching the many people coming to the parties and balls that her parents would give. But a tragic accident leaves Brooke, the daughter of a black mother and white father, in seclusion and afraid of what the world outside of the Manor would think of her now.
It isn't until Jackson Belle comes into her life and shows her that someone does care that she slowly starts to come out to the world and soon finds true love as well.
