Buckets Shovels Ghost And Worms

Callie Devereaux isn't your typical Southern Belle.

Born into privilege, beauty, and scandal, Callie is the last surviving heiress of a powerful Southern family steeped in Confederate legacy. But make no mistake-she's no damsel in distress. As a bold Creole woman with a sharp wit and an even sharper appetite for life, she defies the traditions of her lineage at every turn.

From managing a historic estate to navigating the tangled relationships that come with motherhood, Callie's world is anything but simple. Her daughter's mysterious best friend raises more questions than answers, while the outspoken family butler-more family than servant-provides both comic relief and tough love when it's needed most.

When love finally comes calling in the form of a charming widower with children of his own, Callie dares to believe in second chances. But life in the South is never without its storms. As secrets unravel and tragedy strikes, Callie must confront the fragility of happiness-and the resilience it takes to rebuild.

A richly woven saga of love, loss, legacy, and liberation-Callie Devereaux is unforgettable.
