Georganne Blaylock is a successful young interior designer in New Orleans who takes the gamble of a lifetime as she and her business partner leave the Big Easy to renovate an antebellum mansion in bayou country. Georganne fights her feelings for Jeffrey Huston, the brilliant architect, as she is intent on maintaining focus on the most important job of her career. Once inside the nearly two century old Bridlewood, ghosts of its sordid past begin to envelope them, and Georganne’s own are soon to follow. From luxurious home, to gambling den, to bordello. As Georganne peels away the layers of Bridlewood, she uncovers a 168 year old mystery of murder, suicide, and betrayal and a curse that has echoed through time. Will she find a fortune in lost emeralds or will she become collateral damage in someone else’s game? One fateful night, it all rides on the turn of a card.
