Bestselling historical novelist Dorothy Love crafts a richly atmospheric Southern mystery in The Bracelet, a sweeping tale of hidden family secrets, forbidden truths, and a love threatened by the past. Set in antebellum Savannah and inspired by real historical events, this suspenseful historical romance blends a society scandal, anonymous threats, and a decades-old family tragedy that refuses to stay buried. Celia Browning dreams of the day when her childhood sweetheart Sutton Mackay comes home to Savannah after two years in Jamaica managing his family's shipping interests. Sutton has all but proposed, and their marriage will unite two of the city's most prominent families. But just as Sutton returns, a newspaper reporter arrives in town, determined to pry into twin tragedies that took place at the Browning mansion on Madison Square when Celia was a child. While the journalist pursues his story, someone is trying to frighten Celia. When she receives a series of anonymous notes, and a bracelet imbued with a chilling message, Celia realizes that her family's past has the power to destroy her future. As the clouds of war gather over Savannah, and her beloved father's health worsens, Celia determines to uncover the truth about what really happened all those years ago. Inspired by the history of one of Savannah's most prominent nineteenth-century families, The Bracelet is a compelling story of love, courage, and the enduring power of truth in the face of long-hidden scandal.
