Ashley Clark has penned another captivating split time story with the second novel in her Heirloom Secrets series, Paint and Nectar. The gorgeous cover attracted me first, and after I read the premise, I knew I had to read it. Although it can be read as a standalone book, I would recommend reading the first novel, The Dress Shop on King Street first, as there are several characters from it that show up in the new tale. With beautiful prose and skillful weaving of the storylines, Clark brings the realistic, colorful and engaging characters to life and paints a delicious picture of southern life in Charleston.

BackCover Blurb:
In
1929, a spark forms between Eliza, a talented watercolorist, and
William, a charming young man with a secret that could ruin her career.
Their families forbid their romance because of a long-standing feud over
missing heirloom silver. Still, Eliza and William's passion grows
despite the barriers, causing William to deeply regret the secret he's
keeping . . . but setting things right will come at a cost.
In
present-day Charleston, a mysterious benefactor gifts Lucy Legare an
old house, along with all the secrets it holds--including enigmatic
letters about an antique silver heirloom. Declan Pinckney, whom Lucy's
been avoiding since their disastrous first date, is set on buying her
house for his family's development company. As Lucy uncovers secrets
about the house, its garden, and the silver, she becomes more determined
than ever to preserve the historic Charleston property, not only for
history's sake but also for her own.
