I read at least 3 books a week and this book has to be one of the worst I have ever read. Besides the spelling errors, the plot was incredulous. A niece witnesses a murder and then must keep quiet about it or else. Give me a break. I couldn't even follow the dialogue of the first ten chapters at least. It was hard to finish this book and as a matter of fact I couldn't, it was just plain awful.

There was not less than a star for rating or I would have given this book less. I have been trying to "get into" this book for two days. The characters' vocabulary is too difficult to imagine people using. It is a difficult read and I am quitting at page 70.

Tressa Devlin is hiding from her villainous uncle in the house of a man she's never met. When Hannibal, the owner of the house, comes home, he finds a strange household set up, complete with nicknames like Miss Sweet-as-Pie (Doro), Miss Dearie-Dear (Tressa), and Mr. Wrong (Hannibal's cousin Robert). Hannibal is immediately attracted to Tressa who is so secretive it takes a while before he even knows her name. She fights her attraction to him while he first opposes and then approves his cousin's marriage to Doro. But Tressa still has secrets-- secrets that she can't tell for fear of endangering Hannibal's life. And secrets eventually catch up with everyone. A fresh writing style and intriguing characters liven up this tale.
