is enchanted by the air of intriguing melancholy about his new tenant. Will
Lani’s lonely heart find the love she wants above all else?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was still impossible to conceive of the massive
fortune that was hers, and she was content to let the lawyers handle it. Which
they’d done with professionalism and tact. For a while she’d felt all at sea,
thankful Marcus was there to guide her. It had been so easy to let him smooth
her path.
Marcus. She shuddered anew at the thought of his
mercenary tactics. It was galling as well as humiliating to learn his interest
in her was based on avarice, not affection. Was it any wonder her self-esteem
took a battering? After the flaming row that finished their relationship she’d
experienced the lowest ebb of her life.
More galling were the articles that appeared in the
gossip columns. When she thought of one in particular she still cringed. The
journalist made no reference to Marcus being after her money—oh no, she was
depicted as being loveless and alone. One more poor little rich girl ensconced
in her ivory tower, unable to find true love.
The awful thing was that it came too near the truth.
She was alone—and lonely.
The kindly man who now handled her business affairs
suggested a bodyguard. The thought of a life where every step was dogged
appalled her. The mansion, overlooking Sydney Harbour, which had been the only
home she’d ever known, felt like a millstone around her neck. Guilt filled her
at the thought of selling it—poor Aunt Jane would turn in her grave at the
idea. So, she compromised and leased it out. American employees of a huge
company now lived there.
“It was the best thing you could have done; starting
out afresh.” Min broke into her thoughts as she came to lean on the counter.
“That big place was too much for you. And too many men knew about your money.”
Min grimaced. Lani knew she referred to Marcus’s betrayal. She was right; there
were many mercenary men out there, willing to go to any lengths to get their
hands on her fortune.
No other man would be told of her assets—not until she
was sure she could trust him. Her confidence in the opposite sex, never great,
had been sorely stretched.
“I believe this is the best book I have ever
read! I probably think something similar when I finish a book, but I have never
before printed the words. Lani Moore had relocated to Victoria, Australia, to
try to start over. Never again would she allow anyone to get close to her just
because she was rich. She wouldn’t lie about it; she would just keep her mouth
shut...
Ms. Tricia McGill keeps enticing us into the
story with her wit and charming manner of writing. Of course, there is love and
there is disaster. The love ebbs and flows and the “near hits and misses” just
tug at the heartstrings. The ending may be predictable (after all, who wants a
bad ending) but the journey is unforgettable! I urge you to read this winner!” Brenda
