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

At age group twelve, Cassandra Madden fell deeply in love with Jefferson Ames, a man she fulfilled at among her mother’s business meetings. For a long time, Cassandra held on to this unrequited like in order to deal with her loneliness and the discomfort of her mother’s coldness; actually after meeting a man she believed she might marry, her heart still yearned for Jeff.

Within a decisive minute, Cassandra telephone calls off her pending engagement and travels to Williamsburg, Virginia, to become the nanny to the now-widowed Jeff’s youthful daughter. But the object of her desire hardly notices her. That is, until the day time she hears shots from the mansion of the eccentric neighbor, a world-renowned celebrity. Stepping right into a world of deception, where nobody is definitely who they state to become, Cassandra must unravel the secrets all around her — before she and Jeff can ever discover happiness together.
