First let's take a stroll down memory lane of the first book in this series:
St. Charles at Dusk
The House of Crimson and Clover #1
by Sarah M. Cradit
The House of Crimson and Clover #1
by Sarah M. Cradit
Blurb: At twenty-one years old, Oz Sullivan
is unable to understand his fascination with and attraction to a much younger
Adrienne Deschanel. Adrienne is spirited, passionate, and impulsive... all of
the things Oz is not. Oz is drawn to her in a way that is inexplicable to him,
and deeply concerning to those who know him.
Amidst her
father’s threats, Adrienne makes secret plans to run away with Oz. Before they
can act on them, Adrienne and her family are involved in a tragic accident that
takes the lives of the entire family. Adrienne’s body, however, is not found in
the wreckage. Oz is devastated and unable to move on when an extensive
investigation fails to solve the mystery of Adrienne’s vanishing.
Three years
later Oz has made a life for himself as an attorney at his family’s law firm.
However, the predictability and peace of his quiet life is shattered when
Adrienne is discovered, alive and well…but with no memory of anything before
the accident. Oz is conflicted: grateful that she is alive but still damaged from
her disappearance and hesitant to get involved and re-open a wound that never
fully closed. Yet, Oz finds himself unable to resist helping when Adrienne’s
desperate attempt to flee the confusing and dark influences in her life
instinctively finds her on Oz’s doorstep. Unable to turn her away, but equally
unable to get too involved, Oz keeps from her the truth of who he was and what
they meant to each other before she disappeared. Against his better judgment he
finds himself enmeshed in the mystery of what happened to her when she was
sixteen. The more he learns, the less he understands, and as the story unfolds
and Adrienne’s memory slowly returns, everything they thought they both knew
gets called into question.

The Storm and the Darkness
The House of Crimson and Clover #2

The House of Crimson and Clover #2
by Sarah M. Cradit
Expected Publication Date: July 15, 2013
Blurb: Ana Deschanel has made a terrible
mistake. The only chance of protecting the other people involved is to flee New
Orleans, the only home she has ever known, for the quiet solitude of Summer
Island.
Summer Island,
Maine (population 202) is not the tranquil escape Ana imagined. The locals are
distant and cold, especially her neighbor, the reclusive veterinarian Jonathan
St. Andrews. Her only lifeline is the kind but odd caretaker Alex Whitman.
Showing up at all the right moments, he warns her she is completely unprepared
for a Maine winter. As the first winter storm approaches to whispers of an
island shutdown- Ana realizes that she may soon be cut off from the rest of the
world.
After a
surprising encounter with Jonathan’s brother, Finn, Ana finds herself braving
the storm to return something to him. Unprepared for the Maine storm, she slips
and falls onto the jagged rocks along the shore. The St. Andrews brothers find
her in the nick of time, but she remains unconscious. As the storm worsens, the
St. Andrews brothers learn there are other, more sinister forces at work closer
than they ever imagined.
With no help
from the outside world, they must find a way to protect themselves from both
the storm, and the growing darkness that looms across the island.

My Thoughts on the cover....
I think it
looks cool having the lighthouse on the cliff throw in the lightening for shock
value, and this storm should get some attention.
