The Romance Reader's Connection
"Saranne Bonniface is unsettled by her rebellious daughter who wants to find her birth father, and by her own fears that she is slowly going insane .... Although there are hints (but this reader did not get them) throughout the story, the ending is a surprise with a bizarre twist. Recommended."

From the back cover:
Newly married and settled in coastal Farnham, Massachusetts, Sarann Bonniface finally has a steadfast, respectable husband at her side and an elegant roof over her head. Now she intends to concentrate on the most pressing matter at hand: taming her newly rebellious teenager.
Although Sarann is well aware that her daughter isn't thrilled to have a new stepfather, it never occurs to her that Abigail might go looking for the birth father she never knew--or that he can even be found. Ben McElwyn is so mired in the myth that Sarann has created that even she isn't sure who he really was. But she's about to find out ....
Sarann's idyllic life spins more and more out of control when someone begins playing games with her mind. After a while, she no longer trusts anyone around her. Not her resentful daughter. Not her brooding husband. Not Ben. Maybe not even herself ...
