Book Description

Cedar Rock Mountain has a secret, one that must be preserved. Near its peak stands a manor built by a man and blessed by God. Framed by a lush, green forest and a crystal blue lake, the entire estate is a little piece of heaven. To the souls who have passed through its borders, the mountain paradise is enchanting and its majesty remains forever in their hearts. Four generations of the builder's clan have cared for the mountain, and each one has provided a master for the house, DeLancey Manor. The eldest son of the Bradford family is next in line to be master and has been trying to take control of the estate since his mother's death more than a decade ago. But destiny has changed, and his father has refused to give him the deed. Instead, he believes the land must leave the family in order to preserve the sanctity bestowed upon it by God. Despite the son's objections, the estate is put up for sale. Robert Castle cherished the time he spent at DeLancey Manor, especially his youthful adventures with Gracelyn Bradford, his first love. In fact, every memory of that mountain brought a smile to his face, except one. Sixteen years ago, he walked away without a word and left behind everything he loved, the mountain, the manor, and Gracie. Carrying the guilt from his mistake, a return to DeLancey Manor never seemed right, until now. At first the void in his heart felt healed, but then he discovered something else was missing. Cedar Rock Mountain wasn't just a part of his past, it was his destiny.
