Carolina Moon / The Villa / Three Fates

Carolina Moon (Dean Robertson, Laura Grafton, Luann Kindem): Tory Bodeen grew up in a small, rundown house where her father ruled with an iron fist and a leather belt. But she had Hope – who lived in the big house, just a short skip away. After young Hope’s brutal murder, unsolved to this day, Tory’s life began to fall apart. And now, as she returns to the tiny town of Progress, South Carolina, with plans to settle in and open a stylish home-design shop, she is determined to find a measure of peace and free herself from the haunting visions of that terrible night. As she forges a new bond with Cade Lavelle – Hope’s older brother and the heir to the Lavelle fortune – she isn’t sure whether the tragic loss they share will unite them or drive them apart. The Villa (Laural Merlington, Sandra Burr, Jill Sovis): Sophia Giambelli has never worried about competition. For three generations, the Giambelli wines have been renowned for their quality – from Napa Valley to Italy, and throughout the world. But things are about to change at Villa Giambelli. Tereza, the matriarch, has announced a merger with the MacMillan family’s winery – and Sophia will be assuming a new role. As a savvy businesswoman, she knows she must be prepared for anything . . .but she isn’t prepared for Tyler MacMillan. Sophia must teach Tyler the finer points of marketing – and Ty, in turn, shows her how to get down and dirty, to use the sun, rain, and earth to coax the sweetest grapes from the vineyard. As they toil together, both in and out of the fields, Sophia is torn between a powerful attraction and a professional rivalry. Three Fates (Bernadette Quigley, Laura Grafton, Jill Sovis): When the Lusitania sank, more than one thousand people died. One passenger, however, survived to become a changed man, giving up his life as a petty thief but keeping a small silver statue that would become a family heirloom to future generations. Now, nearly a century later, that heirloom, one of a priceless, long-separated set of three, has been snatched away from the Sullivans. And Malachi, Gideon, and Rebecca Sullivan are determined to recover their great-great-grandfather’s treasure, reunite the Three Fates, and make their fortune. The quest will take them from their home in Ireland to Helsinki, Prague, and New York and introduce them to a formidable female professor whose knowledge of Greek mythology will aid them in their quest; to a daring exotic dancer who sees the Fates as her chance at a new life; and to a seductive security expert who knows how to play high-tech cat-and-mouse. And it will pit them in a suspenseful fight against an ambitious woman who will stop at nothing to acquire the Fates.
