This book was an attention grabber from the beginning, and gave the reader a Romeo and Juliet scenario. Boy meets girl. They fall in love. Their families do not agree with the relationship and break them apart.
Years later, Connor conveniently shows up at the restaurant where Tabitha works, and it is as if time has stood still. They find out they still have feelings for each other and spend the night together. The bad thing is, Connor is married to a very rich woman named Nina and he promises Tabitha he is going to leave her. Tabitha soon discovers she is pregnant and goes looking for Connor at the Ford's annual 4th of July party in a panic.
Nina dies that night and where it is ruled a suicide, it eventually becomes clear she was murdered, but by who? You follow around all the other characters who are employed by the Ford's and Tabitha soon finds herself convinced of the murder. It's her job to prove her innocence, and at times, she is convinced Connor is involved.
This book took a very good turn and I was not able to guess who was involved. The ending could have been happier, because that's of course what we all want, but it eventually all made perfect sense.
