First published: 2000
Description: Hawthorne Brothers #2
HE WAS A MAN WHO MADE THE RULES, WHILE SHE WANTED ONLY TO BREAK THEM . . . .

Grayson Hawthorne is everything blue-blooded Boston society admires--rich, ruthless, untainted by scandal.  While always keeping a tight rein on his emotions, he has never forgotten Sophie Wentworth, the spirited but awkward child who captivated his youth with music and a young girl's adoration.  But one night long ago, she left the city unexpectedly.  Now the toast of Europe, Boston's ugly duckling is returning home with the grace of a swan.

Through provocative performances, Sophie has found great fame as a concert cellist.  She hopes to keep her past and her new life a secret--until she discovers that her family has bargained her away to Grayson, the lonely boy she once loved--now a cold, forbidding man with the power to break her tattered heart.  At that moment, she vows to bring Boston . . . and Grayson . . . to their knees.

SWAN'S GRACE is the sophisticated, unforgettable story of a gifted but defiant woman and an unforgiving man who must find a gentleness in his soul to heal both their tarnished hearts.
