True love
(Book)

Adelaide Kingsley dies and wills Alix Madsen the use of a charming nineteenth-century Nantucket house for one year. Alix accepts the quirky bequest, in part because it gives her time to plan her best friend's wedding. But Adelaide had a specific task for Alix: solve the strange disappearance of one of the Kingsley women, Valentina, more than two hundred years before. In addition, Alix finds she must deal with the arrogant (and extremely good-looking) architect Jared Montgomery, who is living in the property's guesthouse. Unknown to Alix, Jared has been charged with looking after her while she lives on the island, a task he finds easy since there is undeniable chemistry between the two. But Jared harbors secrets of his own. The two find their lives entwined with the fortunes of their ancestors, and discover that only by righting the wrongs of the past can they hope to be together.
