Reese Abbot is content living in Massachusetts away from her prominent family, and the last thing she wants to do is
give up her dream job as an architect at one of Cape Cod's most distinguished firms. But the death of her great-aunt forces
her to return to Wild Ridge to stake claim on the Victorian mansion that has been in The Abbot family for centuries before
her family’s greed allows it to go to the highest bidder.
However, the man Reese hires to help her bring the old place back to
life has a disturbing past. Years ago, he was accused and convicted in one of the biggest controversies to hit their
small town. Back then, Reese had always believed in Evan Payne’s innocence. Now spending every day alongside
him, unable to deny the passion stirring between them, she’s convinced there was more to his case than anyone
in the town -- or Evan -- was willing to admit.
Will
Reese find more than she bargains for when she seeks out the truth about Evan’s past? Or will her instincts only wrap
her deeper into the
Secrets Within…

the secret kept is dangerous to not only Reese and Evan but to other people as well. Ms. Mistretta certainly gave us a story
