I read this for Hooked On BooksThis was a rather good story, about Lilly Sumnor. She was adopted into a very wealthy family & on the surface, everything looked perfect.  Sadly Lilly’s adopted mother Jane hates her & is very abusive towards her.  Lilly’s only relief is from the Housekeeper Miss Finnegan & her friendship with Luke, who is the Gardeners Son.  Luke is sent away, so he cannot cause trouble for Lilly, leaving her alone to suffer her abuse.When her parents are killed in a car accident, Lilly is the sole heir to their vast fortune. She is now able to live the life she wants. Luke returns & they rekindle their friendship & finally admit they love each other. Things are moving along well, or so they think.  Lilly has a stalker who will go to any lengths to have Lilly for himself.I really liked Lilly, she has such a strong character. Luke is an enigma to me & I cannot work out if I like him or not.  All the other characters that are close to Lilly are great, and they all interact perfectly together.A slow burning story, that gets better as it goes on & ends in an exciting & frightening cliffhanger.
