The Gilded Curse

Silver Scroll Merit Award Winner

Lexie doesn’t believe in curses — or blessings, for that matter. But when she arrives on the island in January of 1942 she finds an mysterious intruder living in the family cottage. With German subs threatening U.S. ships along the coastline, a stranger stalks Lexie. What does she have that anyone would want?

Russell Parker, a childhood friend, has become the superintendent of the Jekyll Island Inn and keeper of the club members’ secrets — including the secrets of Lexie’s family. As Lexie and Russell seek to uncover the truth surrounding the cottage’s curses — and identify the motives behind the phantom stranger — an unexpected romance blossoms.

But can they act in time? Or will Lexie become the next victim of the Gilded Curse?
