First Impressions

A spunky heroine and quirky hero make this an entertaining read, and the surprise ending is a fun fillip (Booklist) for fans who can’t get enough of New York Times bestselling author Jude Deveraux’s charming southern romances. When Eden Palmer moves into Farrington Manor, the charming house that was willed to her, she hopes her new home in lovely Arundel, North Carolina, will provide the fresh start she needs. Her beloved daughter Melissa, whom Eden raised on her own, is married now, and Eden must begin a new chapter. But her arrival in the small southern town soon plunges her into a mystery that threatens not only her plans and reputation, but her life…and when two eligible bachelors pursue her, Eden is flattered–and more than a little suspicious. Can she use one man to save her from the other?
