Memories can be a killer.

When Levi Corbin returns to Granton, Tennessee after the death of his beloved grandmother, it sets off a chain of events he’d rather have avoided. Claiming his inheritance should have been a piece of cake, but a cousin appears, threatening to steal it all.

Even worse (and better, too), he’s falling for the girl he just met and now must team up with her to try to stop his cousin. Their quest for his inheritance uncovers secrets frozen in time—and one might just be the answer to save his grandmother’s home.

Things go from worse to completely out of hand when a freak fire threatens it all. Add to that a nosy old woman and a battered runaway, and Levi can’t help but wonder what is going on!

As circumstances rekindle his faith and new love spurs him onward, Levi races against time and odds to save Grandma’s house from certain destruction, but the result might just mean saving himself as well.

My Review:

Here he is, in Tennessee, due to the death of his Grandmother. Have a funeral and move on, hopefully with something to remember your loved one with. Not so easy in this case. Levi's grandmother raised him as a mother, and she has left a will that's simple, and horribly complicated at the same time. He has to work with someone who hates him, or lose everything. Topping that off, the house is literally soaked in Civil War history. So, is the treasure the house? The history in it? The family Levi, mainly cousin Silas? Or is something else?

This 14th room, the secret room, this was so cool. I like it. I liked the writing style, the mystery, the sinner so lost, the potential for so many positive changes. The saving graces that flow throughout the story with forgiveness, healing and redemption. The only thing I wasn't happy with was the ending. Why does this have a cliffhanger? Yes, I need another book in the series, and something for my cliffhanger suspense issues.

Looking for new ideas is my favorite part of writing because it comes with talking to interesting people and exploring antique shops all over the country.

This book not only captures my love for American history and riveting romantic suspense, but it also captures how old wounds of the heart can be healed.

Levi Corbin in The Secret of the 14th Room learns this the hard way after carrying his broken heart for most of his adult life. He has to discover the real meaning of family and family pride. Levi must face the past so that he can move on to a brighter future.

Granton, Tennessee, is a town I hope you fall in love with, just as I did when I created it. There are so many delightful characters, some with a dark secret or two. This story has been brewing for a while, and I am glad that I finally have the opportunity to share it with you.
