A Deadly Secret

Huge setup with likable characters, only to have various elements of suspense go poof upon the light of day hitting them. Through the story, serious dangers pop up, but fizzle repeatedly. I kept expecting the little girl to get kidnapped or something, but in reality the dangers are nothing more than a tool to get the MCs to marry and then her brother's tragedy is another tool to get them into each other's arms. Promising and with good characters but anticlimactic.
