Paige Walker is a Hollywood star who has the awards to
prove
it. A scandal has erupted showing a sex tape with a woman
believed to be Paige with her director, who is married and
has children. What makes the tape more believable is she
just got denied the part that she longs for working with
the same director. Is it sour grapes or is she innocent
of
any wrong doing? Are Paige's "no comment" remarks to all
this
publicity to prevent more negative attention? She decides
to return home to Windfall Island to old friends that will
welcome and protect her. She will relax and wait until
the scandal that has rocked her passes and proves her
innocence.
Attorney Alex Barclay, of the Boston Barclays, is
handsome,
wealthy, single a bit arrogant and opinionated. He makes
a
statement to the press insinuating that Paige Walker is a
Hollywood star used to getting whatever she wants and only
made the sex tape to get the next part she felt was for
her.
When she meets Alex in Windfall Island it is fireworks
from
the start and Paige tells him he is very judgmental and
wants nothing to do with him. Alex is stunned and has to
rethink his initial assessment of Paige. She is the most
beautiful woman he has ever met, he would like to get to
know her, and maybe he was too quick to offer his opinion
without all the facts?
Alex is In Windfall searching for information about the
lost heir to the Stanhope family fortune. Clayton
Stanhope
wants no one to take over any of his family money and will
take whatever means necessary to secure his fortune.
Alex has had DNA testing done on Maggie and Jessi to see
if
they are the the missing Stanhope heir but the tests
proved
negative. That only leaves Paige, being the right age, to
be the long lost heir. She agrees to take the test but
while waiting for the results an attempt is made on her
life. She walks down wooden steps to the beach for her run
every morning and the steps were tampered with. Good
thing
Alex was there to catch her as she began to fall. Alex
decides to stay with her at her home to protect her from
any
additional danger and they get to know each other, rather
intimately.
A colorful cast of characters in this romantic mystery set
in a lovely Maine locale.
Lots of twists and turns as the trail for finding the
elusive Stanhope heir rocks this quiet and very close
island
community. Love, greed, passion, evil, jealousy, family,
spin their web to keep you turning those pages to an
ending
that is surprising but sweet. I enjoyed the witty and
sassy
banter between Paige and Alex and their romance, though
slow
but sure was fun to watch. Entertaining read.
