From the Back Cover:

The Rossiters seem like the perfect family--sophisticated, clever, and attractive. Watching them from the house where she lives with her grandmother, Rachel yearns to be part of their charmingly chaotic world. Then one day she's invited to their home, and soon enough, part of their exclusive inner circle. As her attachment to the Rossiters deepens, Rachel begins to understand that even the most perfect family has its dark side. Only Gavin, the eldest son, with his elegant looks and zealous intellect, seems without flaw. But it is Gavin who brings about her painful break with the Rossiters, and as the years go by and Rachel's own life takes shape, she begins to understand that this rift is only one crack in the dangerously fragile armor in which the family has encased itself.

Beautifully rendered against the enchanting backdrop of a small English village, A CHARMED CIRCLE is a captivating novel of romance, heartbreak, and family secrets, penned by a most talented voice in women's fiction.
