Description

THE QUIET TWIN Heartskeep heiress Leigh Thomas hated the label. But the one night she'd dared to rebel had ended in disaster. When sexy and forbidden bad boy Gavin Jarret had rescued her from a dangerous situation, she'd seduced him with all the secret passion in her wild heart--and had become his alibi for murder. Coming home to Heartskeep seven years later brought Leigh face-to-face with the past--with Gavin as attorney for the estate. He was more off-limits than ever, but the heat in his deep gray eyes said Gavin still remembered that night. Now their professional relationship stirred a killer at large--one whose desperation to keep them apart would make their "strictly business" vows impossible to keep....

I love it. I'm reading this series totally backward - I've had The Third Twin for years and read it several times. Now I've read this one and I understand a lot more (though I have to read Third Twin again to remember what it is I understand!). Now I really want the first book - The Firstborn.

Excellent characters, staying true to their characterization throughout the book. A good story - two stories really, how Gavin and Leigh first encountered each other and then the present-day story. The villain is very nasty, and clearly out of his depth - which is a good thing, he's bad enough while flailing around, I'd hate to meet him when he was sure of his ground. It takes Gavin and Leigh a long time to get past their first meeting and deal with now - actually, it's really funny how they sort of overrun themselves. A kiss (or two, or three), then a proposal, then a discussion of how they're attracted, and finally admitting it's more than attraction - or at least more than wanting a fling. And the mysteries of Heartskeep add a nice fillip to the story as well. There are a lot of threads, each of which is interesting and all of which intertwine reasonably well. Good story, a lot of fun to read and one I'm going to reread. But not until I get Firstborn.

Gavin and Leigh first meet when they're quite young. He's the bad boy and she's looking for something different. After they're finished the night she challenges him to make something of himself, which he does. When Leigh returns to claim her inheritance, they find themselves attracted again but

don't know how to deal with their pasts.

It's quite a sweet story and the characters are great fun.
