A heart-wrenching tale of unrequited love and dangerous secrets...
At age twelve, Cassandra Madden met and fell in love with a boy called Jefferson Ames. Over the years, during periods of loneliness and struggle, Cassandra held on to this unrequited love. Even when she grew up, went off to college, and met a man she thought she'd marry, Cassandra's heart yearned for Jeff.
In a decisive moment, she breaks off her pending engagement and travels to Williamsburg, Virginia, where the now-widowed Jeff lives with his young daughter. Cassandra becomes the child's nanny. But, even though she sees the object of her desire every day, Jeff has yet to even notice her.
Then one day she hears shots come from the nearby mansion of eccentric actress Althea Fairmont. Cassie runs to investigate and, in an instant, her safe little life is turned upside-down. She begins to learn that the people around her aren't who they claim to be. Everyone has secrets. And until Cassie unravels those secrets, she and Jeff will never have a chance to be happy.
