Overview

Bestselling author Antoinette Stockenberg has penned another emotional, suspenseful and humorous story that will be enjoyed by readers of Nora Roberts, Barbara Freethy, and Barbara Michaels.

AN OLD SECRET, A NEW MYSTERY, AND DANGEROUS PASSION buried in the ashes of an historic fire -- ashes that become embers, easily fanned into flames ....

To Meg Hazard, it seemed like a good idea at the time: squeezing her extended family into the back rooms of their rambling Victorian home and converting the rest of the house into a Bed and Breakfast in the coastal town of Bar Harbor, Maine. But that was before the leaky roof, the balky furnace, and the fuel oil spill in the basement. That was before the inheritance of an exquisite, museum-quality dollhouse with a haunting story of its own to tell.

And that was before her much-loved, much-younger and very beautiful sister Allie fell in love with Chicago cop Tom Wyler, who was at the inn simply to put himself back together physically and emotionally after a shattering episode of violence back home. Meg, the Responsible One, has complete sympathy for everyone. What she doesn't have is complete control over her emotions ....

Editorial Reviews

NYT bestselling author - Katherine Stone
"EMBERS is a delight -- a beautifully crafted, wholly involving story that glows bright with romance and smolders with intrigue. Antoinette Stockenberg masterfully explores the complexities of family, sisters, and love, creating relationships that sparkle with warmth, wit, and authenticity. I thoroughly enjoyed it!"
Library Journal
"A well-written, engaging story of two caring people who have all but given up on finding love."
Affaire de Coeur
"With the publication of EMBERS, Antoinette Stockenberg has become a major force to contend with in the arena of women's contemporary mainstream romantic fiction. The novel is a moving work involving obsession, betrayal, and thwarted passions ... a book that has 'classic' written all over it."
Publishers Weekly
"A deft blend of mystery and romance ... Stockenberg, who won a RITA for EMILY"S GHOST, is sure to win more kudos for EMBERS."
Gothic Journal
"The author has woven a web of all the ingredients that whisper 'best seller' in publishers' ears ... [reading EMBERS is] a night of pure pleasure."

    Another winner

    I thought this book was one of her best. This author really understands sisters and how families work, and I absolutely loved the cop hero. I never saw the surprise ending coming! Just an all around fun read and very enjoyable romance.

    Mystery lite and very enjoyable

    I enjoy these lite mysteries as opposed to dark murder mysteries. Embers did not let me down. I enjoyed the characters and plot was great with twist and turns. A good mystery always leaves a reader wanting to know more about the characters. In this book the elaborate dollhouse was a character and I wanted to know more about it. A great read for end of summer day on your deck.

    Excellent!

    I have read several of Ms. Stockenberg's books and this was one of the best. There are so many elements to her stories and the characters pull you into their world. Enjoy!
