The Sea Horse Door - Paperback

by Gina Rossi (Author)

Although Lara Fairmont directs passion and focus into her London business, it goes bust with spectacular finality. Despondent, almost bankrupt, she nabs an astonishingly well-paid job as a carer for an elderly grande dame of Lobster Cove. What could be easier? Almost anything, for a start. A heady mix of misunderstanding, folklore, suspicion, and the hand of fate unbalances Lara from the moment she steps into Lucas Dalton's desolate mansion on the shore. How many unanswered questions can there be? For a start, is her boss, Lucas - deep-sea diver, oil-rig maintenance man, and closet architect - unhinged? Is he way out of control, or merely lost in a dark place? Where's his wife? Why so little light, and so much shade? Bewitched, Lara falls in love with the beauty of Maine, and the inexplicably irresistible Lucas. But, is he the devoted son, widower, and father he claims to be, or someone entirely different?
