Fallen
With Fallen Hearts, V.C. Andrews returns again to the number one best-selling saga of the Casteels, continuing the story that was begun in Heaven and Dark Angel. In Fallen Hearts, Heaven returns to her Winnerow and begins to live out her childhood dreams--she becomes a respected schoolteacher at the local school and marries her sweetheart, Logan Stonewall. After their wedding trip back to Farthinggale Manor, Tony Tatterton persuades Heaven and Logan to stay in Boston, offering Logan a fabulous job and promising to share with Heaven all the Tatterton wealth and privilege. But old ghosts begin to rise up once more, writhing around Heaven's fragile happiness, threatening her precious love with scandal and jealousy. Once again, V.C. Andrews tells an enthralling tale of sinister passions and dangerous dreams.
