On her regular cleaning day at Leona Bell's antebellum mansion, Leona, the matriarch of the town's most prominent family, succumbs to a heart attack right before Flip's eyes. Before Leona dies, she implores Flip to find three letters hidden by the Bell family women for over a century and give them to her niece. Flip has no idea that the letters-which reveal a torrid love affair between a famous Civil War general and an unknown woman-will bring out the dark side of Solace Glen. Soon after Loena's death, mysterious accidents begin to happen to those who were named in Leona's will, including Flip. Meanwhile, romance begins to blossom in unexpected places, as Flip must scour the past to discover who wants those letters badly enough to want to kill.
