The new romantic thriller from a master storyteller On a bright summer's day a young girl, carefree and smiling, receives an ominous warning from an old gypsy woman ? a warning that she will never be able to forget. Some years later, another young woman is caught up, unwittingly, in Alex's sinister story. Imogen Voisey arrives at Upton Stowey House as governess to little Janine, daughter of the dangerously attractive Bradley Palmer. Janine's mother Alexandra died in mysterious circumstances ? and now Brad's second wife, Rosalie, has also disappeared. Rumours abound concerning the role of Brad Palmer in the fate of his two wives. Against her will ? and despite the powerful emotions his presence arouses in her ? Imogen is forced to confront these rumours and establish, for herself and for Janine, the truth?

About this title

From Booklist:

Imogen Voisey has lived with her grandparents since her mother died when she was a child. She has never understood why her grandparents were so anxious to take her away from her stepfather, Raymond Voisey, or why they discouraged any contact with the Voiseys. Ten years later, Imogen is shocked when her stepbrother Miles turns up, asking for her help. Her stepsister, Rosalie, has married Bradley Palmer, who stands to inherit great wealth. But Brad's first wife died in mysterious circumstances, and now Rosalie has disappeared. Miles is frantic and begs Imogen to masquerade as a governess to Janine, Palmer's daughter from his first marriage, so that she can try to discover Rosalie's fate. She agrees, albeit reluctantly, and sets out for Upton Stowey, Brad Palmer's vast estate. Palmer is breathtakingly handsome, and despite the possibility he might be a killer, Imogen finds herself attracted to him. Tanner knows the ingredients required in a romantic-suspense novel, and she follows the recipe scrupulously: nerve-tingling suspense, surprising plot twists, period ambience, and, of course, a happy (and romantic) ending.
