Brooke Connelly is beautiful, smart, talented, kind and courageous.  A great combination.  Unless of course your boyfriend is in the mob, and you happen to know the genuinely nice guy who is his next hit.In "The Ties That Bind", four years have passed since Brooke warned Chaz about the hit.  Four years since her fiance nearly beat her to death.  Four years since she turned to the very powerful Clint Staebler, heir to an international kingdom of hotels, for help.  Four years since she had become beholden to him, for everything.Life has moved on.  Brooke runs one of the 'Places to Be' in Los Angeles' Beverly Highlander Hotel.  The Elegance is everything that its name implies, and its manager, Brooke now epitomizes the title.  Engaged to be married to a wonderful doctor, she has managed to put most of her old life behind her.But then, Chaz reappears, her boyfriend treats him and the questions start. There is only one way that she can free herself from her past once and for all.  And it is going to take all of the courage that she has ever had.This book has more twists and turns than a maze, and will keep you engaged just as well.  I really enjoyed it, and will read more by Ms. Tandori.
