Description
Gwen Andersen loves being a schoolteacher, but she isn't exactly raking in the big bucks. With her bank account shrinking by the minute, she needs a well-paying summer job if she's going to hold onto the childhood home she inherited from her parents. So when the father of one of her students asks her to fill in as his au pair for the summer, she knows she should be thrilled. Alexander Romanescu is loaded, and Gwen adores his daughter Isabella. Plus, they're planning to spend the vacation at their ancestral estate-in Romania! And yet Gwen can't shake the nagging feeling that saying yes to this man could lead to more than she bargained for. She knows so little about him-and the idea of spending six weeks in the land of Dracula and Vlad the Impaler is more than a little creepy. But the legends of Romania will be the least of her concerns if she doesn't make some money...fast. And so Gwen says yes: yes to the job, yes to a European excursion...and yes to a summer that will change her path forever. With her trademark crackling dialogue, exotic locations, and knack for realistic characters, women's fiction author Beth Orsoff delivers an engrossing tale of love, intrigue, and betrayal. This is not your typical chick lit tale. This is something new. This is gothic chick lit.

Person
A native of New York City, Beth Orsoff has long sought to return to her primordial roots by refusing to live more than an hour's drive from the ocean. She spent her formative years working as a lifeguard, thrilled to be paid to work on her tan, until her parents forced her to get a "real" job. And so she headed to law school - conveniently near the beaches of southern California - and launched a career as an entertainment attorney. Today she lives in Los Angeles, dividing her time and energy between writing fiction and drafting Hollywood contracts.
