Amid the beauty of Charleston, not all is as it seems.
When her husband Liam is killed by a car bomb while their Celtic band is on tour in Charleston, singer and Irish beauty Alanna doesn’t quite know where to turn. Her father-in-law is threatening to take custody of the baby she carries, but Alanna knows she can’t lose the only piece of Liam she has left.
Alanna’s manager offers her a marriage of convenience to obtain U.S. citizenship and allow her to escape her father-in-law’s control. It seems like the perfect solution until she arrives at the family home of her new husband—a decaying mansion with more questions than answers.
Strange things begin happening that threaten Alanna’s life and the life of her child. Are they merely coincidences? Or is something more sinister at work?
A mysterious painting, a haunting melody, and a love stronger than death leave Alanna questioning where darkness ends and light begins.

Summary
Because You’re Mine by Colleen Coble seems to be a different type of book than Colleen normally writes. If this is your first book by her don’t judge her writing or imagination by this book.
The storyline was far-fetched and predictable. The main character Alanna was too weak for my liking.
Alanna’s husband dies in a car crash while they are on tour in Charleston. His best friend survives but barely. Alanna doesn’t know what to do as her father in law wants her to live in Ireland and when she does not agree he threatens to take the baby. She accepts the marriage proposal from her manager to obtain US citizenship to try and escape her inlaws.
Her manager has some quirks about him that become even weirder once he takes her to his family home that is a decaying mansion.
Sexual content: kissing;
