Spiritually Together

At long last, Rosalie and James are settling into the togetherness they had planned almost sixty years ago! But in retirement, they aren't sitting still: Their chosen legacy is to reopen the infamous Holy Heart and make it a non-profit for pregnant women ostracized by family or society. But the mounting opposition to Holy Heart's reopening makes them wonder: Who's behind it? Are these people connected to the roses?

Although Professor Martin Loshman-who seemed to be the man behind most of their troubles-was recently reported murdered by a motorcycle gang, is Loshman actually dead? If he is, then who is still searching for the roses?

When James' curiosity leads him to discover another secret tunnel, he makes a spine-chilling discovery: an underground apartment where pictures of his entire family are posted on one wall, and a series of X-ed out photos posted on an adjacent wall-photos of those murdered in their pursuit of the roses. But four photos still have not been crossed out-why? Who will be next?

Rosalie and James are determined to preserve the roses and to complete the re-opening of Holy Heart. Both will be living symbols of a new beginning of kindness, parity, love, and the end to hatred. But can they be protected? What demons from their past are still lurking?
