Ms. Shalaby has a real talent for descriptions of another time and place. In this book, we travel with our heroine from France to England. Rhianna was sent away to boarding school by her parents when she was nine years old. Ten years have passed and she has built a contented life for herself with a French family who has welcomed her into their home. Rhianna is sure that she knows who she is and how the rest of her story will play out. But her world is about to be shaken. Upon learning of the death of her parents, Rhianna decides to return to England with a new benefactor to settle the estate and visit the graves of the mother and father who never seemed to actually want or love her. There she learns that she is not who she thought she was and that her life is about to become both incredibly romantic and very dangerous. This book is hard to put down as the plot thickens and our heroine has to fight for her love and her life.
