Description
From a
New York Times-bestselling author: In nineteenth-century Manhattan, a young woman is hired to care for a child haunted by murder.
Having just lost her brother and mother in a tragic accident, dressmaker Megan Kincaid has never felt so vulnerable and alone. Then comes the startling request from the wealthy Brandon Reid of Washington Square to work as a private caretaker to his violently tempered nine-year-old stepson, Jeremy. Megan reluctantly accepts, despite the facts of Jeremy's troubled past. Two years ago, the boy accidentally shot and killed his own father, a brilliant and esteemed New York district attorney.
Everyone in the Reid family tries to bury-and hopefully forget-this fatal incident, but as Megan struggles to help her lost young ward, she begins to fear that her new employers-including Brandon, to whom she is passionately, irresistibly, and dangerously drawn-also have secrets. Now, as Megan delves further into the mysterious Reid family past, she's torn between a child she must save, a man she's come to love, and the desire to run for her life.
A recipient of the Agatha Award for Lifetime Achievement, Phyllis A. Whitney has once again penned a "superior whodunit" ( New York Morning Telegraph).
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Phyllis A. Whitney including rare images from the author's estate.
