Indigo Waters — Lisa Samson

She is heir to her father's wine fortune, amassed over a generation of labor in the vineyards of Champagne, France. But while the vast holdings of the family estate belong to Sylvie de Courcey, her future does not. Her betrothal to the handsome Count Rene de Boyce has been planned from childhood -- an arrangement Sylvie knows nothing of . . . until her heart has been given to another man. Even as Sylvie struggles with a wrenching choice between love and loyalty, a deeper secret tightens its invisible tendrils in a stranglehold on both families. Rooted in French underworld, its fruit quickly ripens into murder, extortion, and betrayal. One person stands between Sylvie and the evil that closes in on every side: the man Sylvie loves most, and cannot afford to love at all. Set in France, England, and Scotland in the mid-1800's, Indigo Waters weaves romance, suspense, unforgettable characters, and surprising twists in a novel of unquenchable faith. Indigo waters is the first book in the Shades of Eternity series by Lisa Samson. Filled with the splendor and romance of historical Europe, these well-crafted novels trace one family's journey of faith in the lives and loves of its members in the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
