Lavender Morning by Jude Deveraux (2009)

Second Deveraux book this year, rummage sale choice. I like the stories where a younger person (usually woman) befriends an older person and ends up unearthing past family secrets, and this seems to be a Deveraux way of telling a story. Jocelyn (Joce) lost her elegant mother, and her father remarried and returned to a more basic lifestyle. She is saved by an elderly neighbor Miss Edi, who shows her culture, helps her get an education. When Edi dies, she leaves Jocelyn all her positions, including a large old house in a small town in Virginia. The house comes with a couple of interesting women as renters. There are also a couple of interesting men waiting for her - Ramsey, a lawyer, the other, and Luke, a gardner. As she unravels the story of Miss Edi, she finds herself and the right guy for her - of course.
