Book Description:
Haunted. Haunting. Redeemed.
When Lisa Harbinger takes a job
as nanny to a prestigious Australian family, she gets more than she bargained
for: two spoilt children, vengeful ghosts, a long-unsolved mystery and a
blazing passion she and her enigmatic boss are unable to deny.
Excerpt:
“He fell in love
with someone else,” Richard repeated thoughtfully. “Was she a friend of yours?”
It must be time
to confess. What he would think of me after that, I didn’t dare consider.
“Actually, she was a he. Simon fell in love with Robert and finally admitted he
was gay.”
Richard’s
eyebrows shot up. “Married to someone as lovely and intelligent as you? That’s
almost impossible to believe.”
Lovely?
Intelligent? Not knowing how to respond to these compliments I said quickly, “I
think Simon always knew he was gay. Even when he married me, he was just in
denial. I was too dumb to wake up to it.”
“When you did
realise, how did it make you feel?”
“Angry.
Miserable. Then totally stupid,” I answered. “There were so many hints, but I
kept on ignoring them.” Then I dared to venture, as the atmosphere between us
was definitely pulsing, “He was never interested in sex.”
His face blank,
Richard turned to the next page of the book we were sharing, then another. In
the pause I heard an owl hoot and the wind rustle a branch against the window.
At last he put
down the book. “Never interested in sex. That mean you’re not? Let’s find out.”
With this, he placed one arm around my waist and with the other hand tilted my
head so I faced him. Then he carefully and delicately placed his mouth over
mine.
