Synopsis

Jude Deveraux brilliantly entwines passion, memory, and a touch of intrigue in this spellbinding New York Times bestseller.

At age twelve, Cassandra Madden fell in love with Jefferson Ames, a young man she met at one of her mother's business conferences. For years, Cassandra held on to this unrequited love in order to cope with her loneliness and the pain of her mother's coldness; even after meeting a man she thought she might marry, her heart still yearned for Jeff.

In a decisive moment, Cassandra calls off her pending engagement and travels to Williamsburg, Virginia, to become the nanny to the now-widowed Jeff's young daughter. But the object of her desire barely notices her. That is, until the day she hears shots coming from the mansion of an eccentric neighbor, a world-renowned actress. Stepping into a world of deception, where no one is who they claim to be, Cassandra must unravel the secrets all around her—before she and Jeff can ever find happiness together.

I actually really like Jude Deveraux's writing, with plot lines that intrigue me and heroines I adore. But four books in and I've yet to fall in love with one her heroes; it's disappointing. Jeff got on my nerves--he should've had to grovel more in my opinion. I loved Jeff's father, Thomas, and his......more
