Word gets around fast in Eclipse Bay. Nick Harte should know - his family's legendary feud with the Madisons fueled the local gossip mill for years before finally cooling off. But people are still talking - and rumor has it Nick's involved with someone new...
Art gallery owner Octavia Brightwell doesn't take chances - especially on handsome, charming men. But that's only part of the reason why she turned Nick down six times before - finally - agreeing to a date. Octavia's related to the woman who sparked the long-time family feud - and fears that falling hard for Nick would only ignite the flames again. Octavia knows her family's past is best kept hidden. But her secret isn't safe in Eclipse Bay - and neither is her heart...
Feuding, rivalry, an old curse, art theft, and local gossip turn Octavia Brightwell's life upside down, creating confusion and suspense as she searches for a painting stolen from her gallery. Narrator Joyce Bean adds local charm and small-town flavor in her depiction of Mitchell and Sullivan, two geezers whose grandsons are romantically involved with Octavia. Bean appropriately portrays Mitchell's 6-year-old great-grandson as childish, but bright and inquisitive, and with a budding flair for investing, encouraged by his doting great-grandfather. The characterizations of Eugene and Dwayne, typical small-town bullies, are especially well done and worth the listen. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
