Dark Rose

by Janet Louise Roberts

**House of Danger** The Civil War was over and beautiful Belinda Valcours was ecstatic — her husband, Jared, was coming home! Now they could start their life at Rosehill, the peaceful, old plantation Jared loved. But life at Rosehill was not as blissful as Belinda had hoped. Blood-curdling screams from the depths of the backyard swamps awakened her...the mysterious relationship between Jared and Merle Du Bourg, the handsome, wealthy woman he almost married before the war, haunted her...and Jared's cousin, Henri, loved her. But Henri was a man too insane to deal with reality — yet who harbored a secret that endangered them and threatened all their lives!
