Tribute, by Nora Roberts
Virginia''s Shenandoah Valley is a long way from Hollywood. And
that''s exactly how Cilla McGowan wants it. Cilla, a former child
star who has found more satisfying work as a restorer of old
houses, has come to her grandmother''s farmhouse, tools at her side,
to rescue it from ruin. Sadly, no one was able to save her
grandmother, the legendary Janet Hardy. An actress with 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 earlier. To this day, Janet haunts Cilla''s
dreams. And during 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 east, rolling up her sleeves, and rehabbing this wreck of
a house, Cilla intends to find some kind of normalcy for
herself.
Plunging into the project with gusto, she''s almost too busy 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
perpetuate the family tradition of ill-fated romances, Cilla steels
herself against Ford''s quirky charm, but she can''t help indulging
in a little fantasy.
But love and a peaceful life may not be in the cards for Cilla.
In the attic, she has found a cache of unsigned letters suggesting
that Janet Hardy was pregnant when she died-and that the father was
a local married man. Cilla can''t help but wonder what really
happened all those years ago. The mystery only deepens with a
series of 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.
