Hoarfrost to Roses (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781393827856)

Book 1 of the Hoarfrost Mysteries.

In 1879, in a small but growing town in the Pacific Northwest, there was an attempted murder, a romance, and a ghost....

Adele Johansson is the town outsider, desperate for a chance at redemption. Her parents are murderers, sentenced to hang, and she must live on the charity of an aunt and uncle she barely knows. She struggles with overcoming the reputation of her parents, and the stigma of being the orphaned daughter of criminals.

Grai Madison is on the brink of inheriting a vast fortune until fate steps in... Just before Grai can take command of his grandfather's estate, he is brutally stabbed and robbed. Left for dead, he is saved by his spirit who takes control of his body to save his life.

When Adele stumbles into the ruins that shelter Grai, she finds a man whose mystery must be unraveled before his would-be killer discovers them both.

Or do they unravel their heartstrings instead?

Follow the Barrington and Madison families of the 1880's in this sometimes humorous, often romantic series of paranormal mysteries.
