Fern Michaels thrilled readers everywhere with her New York Times bestselling trilogy -- Vegas Rich, Vegas Heat, and Vegas Sunrise. Now, she delights us once again with the story of an unforgettable young woman snatched as a small child from obscurity and raised in the lap of luxury -- a woman who has been given everything that money can buy, but longs for the life she cannot remember.
Growing up in a magnificent Charleston home, Jessie Roland wants for nothing...and yet, she feels lost and unhappy. Sheltered by her frantically over-protective mother, Jessie yearns to be like other kids. But not until she is nineteen does Jessie find a way to break free. Refusing to touch the Roland money, she relies on her own savings to make her escape to Washington, D.C., where no one knows her, and where as assistant to a prominent Texas senator, she is swept into a whirlwind marriage to his handsome, charming son. But soon, as her marriage turns ugly and abusive, Jessie is haunted by dreams of lost happiness, of simple, tender gestures buried deep in her memory. Now she must find the strength to journey through a maze of heartbreak and loss before she can find her way back to the one place she can truly call home.
