NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Jude Deveraux, the bestselling author of
unforgettable romance, returns with a breathtaking first book in a
fantastic series--the Nantucket Brides trilogy. Set on the magical
Massachusetts island, True Love introduces characters from a new
generation of Montgomery-Taggerts, the beloved family from Deveraux's
classic novels.
Just as Alix Madsen is finishing up architectural school, Adelaide
Kingsley dies and wills her, for one year, the use of a charming
nineteenth-century Nantucket house. The elderly woman's relationship to
the Madsen family is a mystery to the spirited Alix--fresh from a
romantic breakup--but for reasons of her own Alix accepts the quirky
bequest, in part because it gives her time to plan her best friend's
storybook wedding.
But unseen forces move behind the scenes, creaking Kingsley House's
ancient floorboards. It seems that Adelaide Kingsley had a rather
specific task for Alix: to solve the strange disappearance of one of the
Kingsley women, Valentina, more than two hundred years ago. If that
wasn't troubling enough, Alix must deal with the arrogant (and extremely
good-looking) architect Jared Montgomery, who is living in the
property's guesthouse.
Unbeknown to Alix, Jared has been charged with looking after her while
she lives on the island--an easy task for him, considering the
undeniable chemistry between the two. But Jared harbors secrets of his
own, which, if revealed, may drive a wedge between the pair.
With a glorious Nantucket wedding on the horizon, sparks fly, and the
ghosts of the past begin to reveal themselves--some of them literally.
Finding their lives inextricably entwined with the turbulent fortunes of
their ancestors, Alix and Jared discover that only by righting the
wrongs of the past can they hope to be together.
BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Jude Deveraux's For All
