Lacey Kincaid is a classic New York success story. As the owner of Odd Jobs, she's gone from rags to riches sort of. Because Lacey's harboring a secret — she was born Lillian Dumont, and spent her childhood with a silver spoon in her mouth, until the deaths of her wealthy parents and the evil schemes of an abusive uncle forced her to take drastic measures. She'd never planned to return to her former life or her abandoned identity — but when her childhood sweetheart, Ty, resurfaces and urges her to claim her rightful inheritance, she decides that maybe being the Dumont heiress wouldn't be so bad. Lacey's uncle doesn't see it that way, though — and he's willing to do anything to stop her.
Now, it's up to Ty to protect Lacey before that silver spoon becomes a silver bullet. But if they live through this, the future's looking bright for this downtown guy and his brand-new uptown girl!

From the Back Cover:

New York Times bestselling author Carly Phillips brings you a classic story of a woman who goes from riches to rags and back again!

Ten years ago Lilly Dumont was the ultimate poor little rich girl, complete with a huge inheritance--and an uncle determined to take it from her. With the help of her first love, she faked her own death and ran away to New York City, leaving everything behind, including her own name. Lilly Dumont was gone, but Lacey Kincaid was going to make it. Only, neither one ever forgot Ty Benson.

Now Lacey's back to claim her inheritance. And her sizzling reunion with Ty has made her homecoming something to remember! Though not everybody's thrilled to see Lacey alive and well. And it's up to Ty to make sure his childhood sweetheart doesn't disappear again--this time for good!
