The Promise of Flowers — Delia Parr

Rumored to be as mad as their mother, the Dunn sisters are the innocent pawns of their cruel father, a ruthless Philadelphia shipping magnate. Since their mother's death, Violet has devoted herself to protecting her fragile sister, Rosemary, but time is running out. Rosemary is about to be put in an aslyum and Violet forced to marry.

Desperate, Violet devises a plan to escape, but as circumstances conspire against her, she must turn to Sam Glennings, her father's biggest rival, a man trying to forget a past of murder and madness that still haunts him. Forced to trust a man who cannot trust himself, Violet's last and only hope must come straight from the heart, where each new day brings... THE PROMISE OF FLOWERS.
