After being unjustly expelled from the Boston Conservatory of Music, Amaryllis Brigham sees her dreams of founding a music academy in her hometown of Seattle, Washington, disappearing before her very eyes. Now, the only way to achieve her goal comes with high stakes for someone set on avoiding men as much as possible: Marry within the year to inherit the immense fortune of her estranged grandmother.
Amaryllis reluctantly moves in to her aunt's Boston home and rubs shoulders with fashionable society. Despite her own misgivings, she soon finds herself quickly falling in love with the most unlikely of men, Nathan Everstone, the envy of every eligible female, whose father has haunted her dreams for the decade following her mother's tragic death.
However, Nathan turns out to be much more than he seems...and everything she never knew she wanted. But can she ever really trust an Everstone man?

Ah, such a satisfying story! Excellent job for a debut novel. I loved the first-person narration, and how Amaryllis is an honest and pleasant character to get to know. She has to face the past, of the summer she was fourteen and her life fell apart, and we see it unfolding as she faces the events all over again, bit by bit. She obviously won't be able to move on with her life until she looks at it frankly and learns how to deal with the truth, instead of shying away from the horror of what she'd felt.
I enjoyed every minute, could hardly put it down...and the HERO! Way to write a good guy, one who might get frustrated at times, but who still is determined to overcome the obstacles and gain his goal. :)
It's a good thing books two and three are in the mail, because I don't want to wait longer than necessary to get them!
