With a rambunctious four-year old daughter to support,
recently divorced Alexis Stevenson, once a college teacher,
takes a job as live-in home manager for wealthy
businessman, Telford Harrington and his two brothers, an
architect and an engineer. She deliberately omits telling
Telford that until her divorce she was mistress of a home
as elegant as his. Very soon, he questions her suitability
for the job, for neither her behavior nor her taste are
that of the average home manager. He hired her without
seeing her, and their first meeting has the combustible
potential of torched dynamite. It is fire meeting fire in
the form of a wounded woman and a man who walks alone.
She sets out to turn that bachelor mansion into a home and
encounters opposition from the middle brother, connivance
from the younger one and grudging acceptance from Telford.
Her daughter immediately wins the hearts of the brothers
and their old male cook and forms a deep attachment to
Telford, who reciprocates the child's love. Although Alexis
and Telford try to obey rules of proper employer/employee
relationships, the chemistry between them is too powerful
and fate too persistent. But Alexis cannot follow her
heart, for she is caught in a web of secrets capable of
destroying any love. And one of those secrets involves
Telford Harrington. It is a story of a woman's struggle for
independence and self fulfillment; of a man's drive for
revenge; of passion, damaging secrets; and of one
horrendous lie, innocent enough in its time, but which
comes back to haunt her. Spine tingling. Riveting
