Rachel Grant put her heart and memories on hold after the disappearance and presumed death of her fiancé 10 years ago. Her parents' sudden death forces her to return home to settle their estate, but she finds that more awaits her than selling off furniture and signing papers. Dealing with her past is made more complicated by the appearance of the mysterious Adam Delafield. He claims to owe the estate three million dollars, but there is no mention of him in her father's papers. That would be odd enough, but Delafield could be the twin of Rachel's missing fiancé. Rachel is troubled by his looks, and is further bothered by a series of accidents that are too close for comfort. Even her father's business associates and old friends seem to have something to hide.

This was a pretty good read but nowhere near as good as her "Shadows" trilogy. Much more interesting was the relationship between Nicholas and Mercy. Too bad they didn't have their own book.

VERY GOOD
