THE TEMPLE SECRETS SERIES
A Southern Women’s Fiction Box Set Full of Humor and Twists
A Southern estate. A family divided. And a book of secrets that could topple them all.
In the sultry streets of Savannah, the Temple women have guarded their family legacy for generations. But when eccentric matriarch Iris Temple must choose an heir for her sprawling estate—and the century-old book of secrets that keeps their grip on high society—the cracks in the family begin to show.
Between her scheming son, estranged daughter, and illegitimate half-sister, Iris’s options are slim. Add in the voodoo magic of her father’s 100-year-old mistress, and small-town gossip has never been juicier.
From Southern gothic humor to multigenerational family drama, this two-book saga (Temple Secrets & Gullah Secrets) blends witty banter, twist-filled mystery, and the enduring bonds of southern women’s fiction.
If you love eccentric southern characters, family feuds, and coastal southern fiction with heart, humor, and a dash of the supernatural, you’ll be hooked from page one.
Start reading today—and discover the Temple women’s most deliciously scandalous secrets.

Gabriel unfolds her story deftly, with well-paced revelations about the complicated relationships between the mansion’s white and black inhabitants Gabriel also evokes the Spanish moss covered atmosphere of ghost-filled Savannah, and the Temple mansion in particular, with satisfying spookiness.The author’s thoughtfulness about masters and slaves, employers and servants, and family relations also contributes to a satisfying read. Savannah’s atmosphere, culture, and history flavor this engaging tale of intertwined families.” —Kirkus Reviews
