Always Magnolia

While her mother had been alive, Cindi had not been allowed to see her father. Now that she is alone, she is determined to get to know her father again. She accepts an invitation to fly half-way across the country to visit the Louisiana home shared by her father and his fianc e. Upon her arrival at the home, named Always Magnolia, Cindi is greeted by the caretaker, Dell, a handsome young man with chiseled features. Dell's casual air is disconcerting, and Cindi finds herself wanting to know more about him. Always Magnolia is an architectural feat designed by her father, Jim Lynn. It features spacious, elegant rooms, and is surrounded by breathtaking magnolia trees. Rumors of a ghost named Cordelia-and an elusive panther-add a mysterious air of suspense and intrigue. Jim Lynn's partner and a strange Colombian woman soon appear with news about Jim and his fianc e, Consuelo, who have traveled to South America and are now missing. Caught up in a whirlwind of conflicting stories about her father, Consuelo, and Dell, Cindi does not know where to turn or what to believe...
