And thats exactly how Cilla McGowan likes it. Cilla  a former child star  has found a more satisfying life working with her hands to restore homes from floor to ceiling  and has come here to her grandmothers farmhouse  tools at her side  to rescue it from ruin. Sadly  no one had been able to save her grandmother  the legendary Janet Hardy. An actress with a golden voice and a tumultuous life  Janet entertained glamorous guests and engaged in decadent affairs  but died of an overdose in this very house more than thirty years ago. To this day  Janet haunts Cillas dreams. And during her waking hours  Cilla is haunted by her melodramatic  five-times-married mother  who carried on in the public spotlight and never gave her a chance at a normal childhood. By coming to the East Coast  rolling up her sleeves  and rehabbing this wreck of a house  Cilla intends to take a shot at finding some kind of normalcy for herself. Cilla has her work cut out for her  the house  once a place of comfort and simple rural beauty  is long neglected  crumbling  the grounds choked by weeds. Plunging into the project with gusto  shes almost too busy and exhausted to notice her neighbor  graphic novelist Ford Sawyer  but his lanky form  green eyes  and easy  unflappable humor (not to mention his delightfully ugly dog  Spock) are hard to ignore. Determined not to carry on the family tradition of ill-fated romances  Cilla steels herself against Fords quirky charm  but she cant help indulging in a little fantasy. But love and a peaceful life may not be in the cards for Cilla. In the houses cluttered attic  she has found a cache of unsigned letters  tied with a faded red ribbon  suggesting that Janet Hardy was pregnant when she died  and that the father of her child was a local married man. Cilla cant help but wonder what really happened all those years ago. The mystery only deepens with a series of cruel and intimidating acts and a frightening  violent assault. And if Cilla and Ford are unable to sort out who is targeting her and why  she may  like her world-famous grandmother  be cut down in the prime of her life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45116145434677,"sku":"ByrdShop_142334717X","price":92.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781423347170.jpg?v=1776026002","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/tribute-9781423347170","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
