At age twelve, Cassandra
Madden fell in love with Jefferson Ames, a young man she met
at one of
her mother's business conferences. Over the years, during
periods of
loneliness and struggle, Cassie held on to this unrequited
love in
order to cope with her isolated heart and the pain of a cold
mother.
Even when Cassie grew up, went off to college, and met a man she
thought she'd marry, her heart yearned for Jeff.
In a
decisive
moment, she breaks off the pending engagement and travels to
Williamsburg, Virginia, where the now-widowed Jeff lives
with his young
daughter. Cassie 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 coming from the mansion of Althea
Fairmont, an
eccentric woman who is thought of as the world's greatest living
actress. Cassie runs to investigate, and, in an instant, her
safe
little life is turned upside down. She begins to learn that
all 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 together.
