Casteel dreamed of a wonderful new life of new friends, the best
schools, beautiful clothes and most important, love. The pearls of
culture, wisdom and breeding would now be hers. Soon she would make
the Casteel name respectable, find her brothers and sisters, and
have a family again.
But even in the world of the wealthy, there were strange
forebodings, secrets best forgotten. And as Heaven reached out for
love, she was slowly ensnared in a sinister web of cruel deceits
and hidden passions!

boys, embrace her femininity, and finally develop a life of her
own. And just as life is looking up for Gish, Gloria meets a

police search yields nothing. Their father's manic investigation
proves fruitless. And their already starstruck mother becomes
increasingly lost in daydreams of the celebrities who partied in

Untethered from the weight of her sister's presence--but also
missing her sister's love--what will Gish do with this new terrible
freedom, with this sense she could become anything?

her, she is determined to get little Paula back from the wealthy

The discovery of Christopher's diary in the ruins of Foxworth Hall
brings new secrets of the Dollanganger family to light in this
riveting novel from V.C. Andrews, the author of Flowers in the
Attic and Petals on the Wind, both major Lifetime TV events.
Christopher Dollanganger was fourteen when he and his younger
siblings--Cathy and the twins, Cory and Carrie--were locked away in
the attic of Foxworth Hall, prisoners of their mother's greedy
inheritance scheme. For three long years he kept hope alive for the
sake of the others. But the shocking truth about how their ordeal
affected him was always kept hidden--until now. Seventeen-year-old
Kristin Masterwood is thrilled when her father's construction
company is hired to inspect the Foxworth property for a prospective
buyer. The once grand Southern mansion still sparks legends and
half-truths about the four innocent Dollanganger children, even all
these decades later. Foxworth holds a special fascination for
Kristin, who was too young when her mother died to learn much about
her distant blood tie to the notorious family. Accompanying her dad
to the "forbidden territory," they find a leather-bound book, its
yellowed pages filled with the neat script of Christopher
Dollanganger himself. Her father grows increasingly uneasy about
her reading it, but as she devours the teen's story page by page,
his shattering account of temptation, heartache, courage, and
betrayal overtakes Kristin's every thought. And soon her obsession
with the doomed boy crosses a dangerous line...
"I will probably be clutching Flowers in the Attic...on my
deathbed." -Gillian Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of
Gone Girl Forbidden passions have shaped and haunted the
Dollanganger family since their first novel-Flowers in the
Attic-debuted forty years ago. Now discover how twisted the family
roots truly are, and witness the clan's origins as a result of one
wild and complicated relationship. In this evocative and thrilling
tale from New York Times bestselling author V.C. Andrews, see
Corrine Dixon as a young girl and discover the fascinating family
history of the Dollanganger clan. Two generations before Corinne
Foxworth locked her children in an attic, her grandmother, a
gorgeous young girl named Corrine Dixon, is swept away by the
charms of rich, sophisticated, and handsome Garland Foxworth. After
discovering that she's pregnant, Garland does what appears to be
the honorable thing and marries her in a huge ceremony on the
luxurious Foxworth Hall grounds. Both families fervently overlook
the pregnancy, happy for a suitable resolution. Now the mistress of
a labyrinthine estate, Corrine discovers that nothing is what is
seems. Garland is not the man once captivated by her charms, and
she's increasingly troubled by his infatuation with memories of his
departed mother. Can Corrine survive this strange new life? Or is
her fate already sealed? Explore the origins of the legendary
Dollanganger family in this page-turning, gripping gothic thriller.
Forbidden passions have been the hallmark of the Dollanganger clan
since Flowers in the Attic debuted more than forty years ago. In
this third book of a new related trilogy, witness the birth of the
Dollanganger curse as Corrine Foxworth's children learn that family
is but destiny by another, crueler name. As a young girl in France,
Marlena Hunter's life was a fairy tale. She had a talented artist
for a father, a doting mother, and a brother she couldn't be closer
to. She loved her family; she just didn't know what her family
actually was. When a car crash kills their parents, Marlena and
Yvon lose not only France, but also their identity. Sent to
Richmond, Virginia, they arrive at the home of two aunts they've
never met before, who tell them that their true last name is
Dawson, that their father had fled the family years back-and that
now the family is calling in the debt. Trapped in a mansion with as
many secrets as rooms, Marlena yearns for escape. But in America,
you can either make friends or make profit, and Yvon suddenly seems
much more interested in the latter. While he is free to leave the
house, Marlena is left to avoid lecherous tutors and the
secretary-to-wife track expected of a woman. Caught between
mastering the game to escape it and falling prey to its allure, she
needs to learn fast-for Malcolm Foxworth has cast his eye in her
direction. And no family name can protect her from the twisted
roots of the Dollanganger family tree.
Mother doesn't always know best in this atmospheric and twisty
novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Flowers
in the Attic series and Landry series-now popular Lifetime movies.
When former teacher Paula Eden adopts Faith and Trevor, she is
astounded by their natural intelligence and decides to homeschool
them to nurture their brilliance. But as the years go on, Faith and
Trevor itch for more independence. When Faith sets her sights on a
handsome young man visiting from out of town, Paula grows
increasingly desperate to preserve her small family and her plans
for the children to carry on her legacy. Luckily, she has a cohort
in loyal Trevor, who will do anything to please his mother, even at
the risk of hurting his sister and potentially changing their lives
forever.
My mother had looked into the face of evil so many times she knew
what it was. It was me. I was born without a soul. . . .
Elle Edwards grew up believing that because of her mother's sinful
ways she was born without a soul; that's why she was abandoned and
left in the care of Grandmother Myra and Grandfather Prescott, who
try to ensure her evil will not infect them--by raising her in a
virtual prison. Because her days are occupied with homeschooling,
strict religious studies, and vigorous housekeeping in their
upstate New York home, Elle knows practically nothing of the
outside world, even as she emerges as a young woman with impressive
artistic talent. But when she makes a secret, forbidden connection
to vacationers at the nearby lake--a handsome boy and his
precocious twin sister--Elle's world will shatter. Will discovering
the truths about her past send her future plummeting to hell?
"Never be afraid of the darkness," Daddy always told me. "Darkness
is our friend. The shadows protect us."
In this enthralling vampire novel, V.C. Andrews returns to the
story of a beautiful girl desperate to escape her secret family
legacy--bred to be a lure for unwitting victims of her father's
blood appetites. Determined to break free and embrace a life
outside the shadows, Lorelei runs away from the only world she's
ever known. In a quiet rooming house, she finds refuge among the
tenants of elderly Mrs. Winston, and the beginnings of a new love
with Liam, her landlady's handsome grandnephew. But Lorelei soon
discovers that burying her past is not so easy: sinister nightmares
torment her, and even her waking hours are plagued with the fear
that at any moment, Daddy could destroy all she holds dear. Can a
child of darkness ever truly feel safe in the light?
"This seductive sequel to V.C. Andrews's "Daughter of Darkness
"will hold readers captive in its irresistible spell."
From New York Times bestselling author and literary phenomenon V.C.
Andrews (Flowers in the Attic, My Sweet Audrina) comes a gripping
and suspenseful psychological thriller about a stalker hell-bent on
destroying a young woman's life. Pru Dunning has everything she
ever wanted: a successful boyfriend, a thriving nursing career, and
a truly comfortable life. But then the strange voicemails start.
Scarletta, the woman calls herself. She seems to know Pru, although
Pru certainly doesn't know that name, nor does she recognize the
glamorous voice leaving her poisonous messages. Is this the work of
jealous revenge from someone at work? An old enemy she has
forgotten about? Pru begins to investigate, but carefully--if
anyone found out about these lewd, threatening messages, filled
with details that no stranger could possibly know, they might
suspect that she is something other than an innocent victim. But
when she suddenly becomes a person of interest in a murder case, it
feels like Scarletta's toxic voice, lashing out from the shadows,
will silence all beauty in Pru's perfect life, once and for all.
A value-priced bindup of the first two books ever published by V.
C. Andrews, "Flowers in the Attic "and" Petals on the Wind."

This atmospheric and moving novel from the #1 New York Times
bestselling author of the Flowers in the Attic and Landry
series—now popular Lifetime movies—combines a forbidden romance
with a family fortune and a young girl in peril. Caroline Brady is
the daughter of a very conservative TSA agent and former military
brat, Morgan Brady. Her mother, Linsey Brady, is a descendent of
the Sutherland real estate family. Their organized, suburban life
in Colonie, New York is rigorously regulated and leaves little room
for deviation from the norm. When Linsey, Morgan, and Caroline
attend the wake of their neighbor Mr. Gleeson, they meet his
charming daughter Natalie “Nattie” Gleeson, who works for the
American ambassador to France. Linsey and Nattie strike up a fast
friendship as women of a similar age in very different places in
their lives—Linsey a devoted mother and housewife, and Nattie an
international diplomat living an independent and freewheeling life.
Their friendship soon evolves into a romance, leading to the
collapse of Linsey’s marriage and her disinheritance from the
Sutherland family fortune. In true V.C. Andrews fashion, a
whirlwind of unexpected death, family estrangement, and a forbidden
inheritance become Caroline’s new reality as she struggles to
navigate the loss of her mother, the mind-boggling wealth of the
Sutherland family (who quickly lock her away from the world), and
the loss of contact with her father following the divorce.
Following the events of The Umbrella Lady, young Saffron Faith
Anders searches for family and love in this spine-tingling gothic
fairy tale from the New York Times bestselling author of the
Flowers in the Attic series and Landry series-now popular Lifetime
movies. After escaping the trauma of the Umbrella Lady's home,
thirteen-year-old Saffron Faith Anders is determined to find the
father who abandoned her all those years ago. But when she finds
him in a nearby town, Saffron is shocked to discover that he has
married a woman he clearly had been involved with before her
mother's death. Worse, her father insists Saffron pretend to be his
niece so he can continue to con his new wife's family. Desperate
for her father's love, she goes along with the farce, but it soon
becomes clear that perhaps it is better to face the world alone
than trapped in a toxic and potentially dangerous family.
"I will probably be clutching Flowers in the Attic in my gnarled
hands on my deathbed." -GILLIAN FLYNN, #1 New York Times
bestselling author of Sharp Objects The twisted, beloved
Dollanganger legend began two generations before Corrine Foxworth
locked away her children in Flowers in the Attic. The second book
in a new prequel story arc, Out of the Attic explores the
Dollanganger family saga by traveling back decades to when the
clan's wicked destiny first took root. Married to the handsome,
wealthy Garland Foxworth following a wildfire romance, and an
unexpected pregnancy, young Corrine Dixon finds her life very
different from how she imagined it. Often alone in the mansion of
Foxworth Hall, she can practically feel the ancestors' judgment of
her as insufficient-as not a Foxworth. Stern portraits glare at her
from the walls, and the servants treat her strangely. Nothing in
the vast place is truly hers. Even her son, Malcolm Foxworth, born
in the luxe Swan Room and instantly whisked away to a wet nurse,
feels alien to her. With a husband alternately absent and
possessively close, Corrine doesn't yet realize that she's barely
scratched the surface of what lies beneath Foxworth Hall's dark
facade and the family that guards its legacies. With the fortieth
anniversary celebration of Flowers in the Attic, and ten new
Lifetime movies in the past five years, there has never been a
better time to experience the forbidden world of V.C. Andrews.
