"Inheritance is the first in The Lost Bride Trilogy--a tale of tragedies, loves found and lost, and a family haunted for generations. 1806: Astrid Poole sits in her bridal clothes, overwhelmed with happiness. But before her marriage can be consummated, she is murdered, and the circle of gold torn from her finger. Her last words are a promise to Collin never to leave him... Graphic designer Sonya MacTavish is stunned to learn that her late father had a twin he never knew about--and that her newly discovered uncle, Collin Poole, has left her almost everything he owned, including a majestic Victorian house on the Maine coast, which the will stipulates she must live in it for at least three years. She sees a painting by her father inexplicably hanging in her deceased uncle's office, and a portrait of a woman named Astrid, whom the lawyer refers to as "the first lost bride." It's becoming clear that Sonya has inherited far more than a house. She has inherited a centuries-old curse, and a puzzle to be solved if there is any hope of breaking it."-- Book jacket. adult Nora Roberts. n-us-me Blessing and cursing Fiction Brides Fiction Graphic artists Fiction Haunted palces Fiction Inheritance and succession Fiction Man-woman relationships Fiction Maine Fiction Roberts, Nora 9781250288325 DLC 130708 20240125133100.0 1355022143 eng
