Recovering from a broken heart, Miss Lucy Seton refocuses
her energy on teaching students at her alma mater, Miss
Harris' School for Young Ladies. Her father's recent
remarriage adds to Lucy's disquiet, which has altered the
family dynamic. Lucy nurses her fragile feelings and
wanders onto the estate bordering the school where she
stumbles upon the new tenant. He is a gorgeous specimen of
Spanish masculinity. Lucy cloaks her admiration in an air
of coolness. She will not give in to her impetuous nature.
That behavior cost her one broken romance.
Diego Montalvio, a famous magician, took a commission from
a Spanish aristocrat to find his missing granddaughter. He
has narrowed his search to Lucy Seton. His reward for
success is the return and restoration of his family home
and vineyard that were taken in the war. As Diego plots
against Lucy, he must harden his heart and remember she is
the key to his goal. Her natural exuberance for life and
her innocent flirtation rouses his blood and almost causes
a lapse in his judgment.
Lucy falls head over heels for Diego until she discovers
his deceit. Once again, she's succumbed to an unacceptable
man. However, not only is her heart broken, but Diego
possesses knowledge that could destroy her relationship
with her adored father. With her life in disarray, Lucy
refuses to flounder. And with help from an unexpected
person, she takes charge of her destiny.
Ms. Jeffries' clever storyline sweeps readers into the life
of a charismatic magician and the tragic legacy of war on
innocent victims. She pairs him with a feisty heroine who
battles with the toll that well-intentioned lies have on
her life. This next-to-last book in the wonderful School
for Heiress series leaves only Miss Harris' story to be
told.
The future of Charlotte Harris’s finishing school is in
jeopardy when world-famous magician Diego Montalvo arrives
to turn the bordering estate into a scandalous pleasure
garden.
Ignoring his wicked flirtations, the lovely Lucinda Seton
vows to derail his plans and save the school—unaware that
she is a long-lost heiress, and that Diego’s true mission
is to spirit her off to Spain for a handsome reward!
Yet ultimately the trick is on Diego, as the illusionist
realizes that he is far more eager to make the lovely Lucy
his own . . . than he is about successfully completing his
scheme!
