1 Ruby ..
2 Pearl in the Mist ..
3 All That Glitters ..
4 Hidden Jewel ..
5 Tarnished Gold
Driven from the Dumas mansion back to her beloved bayou, Ruby's only hope is that fate will let her begin anew...
Living again in a humble shack, Ruby is determined to make a secure and happy home for her precious infant daughter, Pearl. Paul Tate - her first love, whom she was forced to abandon - is at her side once more, now a man of dazzling wealth. When he whisks her into his grand house, it seems their future is assured. As mistress of Cypress Woods, Ruby can forget even the shocking reason she and Paul must wed in a secret ceremony and remain husband and wife in name alone.
But the thick, expensive walls of Cypress Woods cannot shut out the terrible memories that have woven their fabric over her destiny, or the cold eyes of Paul's mother Gladys, reminding Ruby of the secret she must keep to give Pearl a loving father. Then her venomous twin sister, Gisselle, arrives to taunt her with news of Beau Andreas, the true father Pearl has never met, and the only man Ruby will ever long for with all her body and soul. Desperate to find the complete, fulfilling life she craves, Ruby builds a precarious new existence, a flimsy shanty of hope that the first flood washes away. Only when the storm exposes the very blackest evils of the past will she glimpse the rainbow's fragile promise, a morning of sunshine and laughter with a family of her own...

Standing in rear -- Beau, Ruby, Pearl, Paul Do you have an opinion about who's in the picture? Write to me and I'll post it here.
"Hello I think that the blond woman in the front has to be Gladys. Well because, Gisselle didnt get sick til after Daphne was killed. and since Gisselle is posing as Ruby, in Paul's house, Daphne would never visit her."
"I think the one standing in front is Gladys Tate. Wasn't Daphe dead when Gisselle got ill?"
"I think the blonde woman standing in the front in All That Glitters is Daphne. She looks a lot like the blonde woman on the cover of Ruby, who I think is also Daphne. She also matches the description of Daphne."
"The woman in the front is Gladys. She is the bad guy in this book, even worse than Gisselle and I think that Daphne was already dead when
Gisselle got sick."
