Secret of Brackenwood — Juanita Tyree Osborne

The day began happily. Jasmine Tremayne's mother married and left for her honeymoon with Richard Drexler, the co-owner of Brackenwood, a huge Tennessee plantation. But as Jasmine spent her first night at the Brackenwood mansion, she felt smothered by hostility, for her stepfather's relatives treated her like a greedy upstart, lusting for the Drexler money.

Soon one member of the Drexler household made it clear he or she meant to harm Jasmine. In desperation the girl turned to magnetic Roth Drexler, Richard's young half-brother, for protection. But could Jasmine really trust Roth, with so many accusations made against him, so many rumors surrounding his past?
