When Naomi Bowes followed her father into the woods one night, she was hoping he was hiding her birthday present. However, what she found in the root cellar changed her life. After freeing the girl trapped there, Naomi revealed the horrible person her father was, forever changing her family's life.
Now, she has grown up and moved on, making her photography into a successful business. When she finds a old house that needs love (and tons of repairs), miles away from her family, she wants to embrace the small town life and immerse herself in solitude. And of course, because it's Nora Roberts, you know what's coming: but those people in the town are determined to win her over, especially handsome Mr. So-and-So.
Also, because this is Nora Roberts, you know that Naomi's past is going to catch up with her in some way. Um, the title of this book is a hint. Despite all of this, I enjoyed this book. I admit it: I'm a sucker for the fantasy of "girl leaves past behind and finds a new life for herself in a charming small town." It also helps that inevitably, money is no issue for said girl. So, it's sometimes nice to get swept up in a story like this, imagining being a photographer and someone with a huge amount of money to rehab a big house.
