Lila Hilliard is the granddaughter of Ed and June who worked for Bertram Ainsworth. Nothing prepared her for meeting Thayer Ainsworth, Bertram's grandson, in May 2009 and how much her life would change from that moment.
Thayer Ainsworth knew his grandfather's rules regarding the "help" but he couldn't stay away from Lila and they began a secret relationship until he left for school and said he would be back for her.
But life has a funny way of working out and when Thayer returns Lila is gone and no one will tell him anything until a PI finally finds something.
Will Thayer and Lila be able to discover the secrets of the past that have kept them apart and how far will either of them go to either keep the secrets hidden or blow them up?
This book was so amazing from start to finish with a few twists and turns to keep me wondering what was going to happen next.
I loved Lila right from the start. She was innocent and fell completely in love with Thayer and was willing to do whatever it took to be with him, even waiting for him while he went off to school. I was shocked to eventually learn about the past with her family and how that affected everything else that Bertram controlled.
Thayer was great and he knew he had to keep his relationship a secret and away from his grandfather and I don't think he knew how far his grandpa was willing to go to protect his family. I liked that Thayer never gave up trying to find Lila although it's a mystery of why Lila won't say anything but I loved when Thayer first really meets MJ!
There was so much chemistry between Thayer and Lila but they were almost pawns in Bertram's game and he manipulated his family members into falling into the line that he wanted them to or they faced losing everything. I loved how Westley stood up for Lila and took the fall in order to protect Thayer.
I was so mad at Bertram through out the book and how he played everyone and really had no regard for anyone's feelings. He wanted things his way and made everyone follow what he said or face losing everything. I was so proud of Thayer at the end and it made me happy that he did what he believed in.
The end was absolutely amazing and I was so happy for what Thayer did for Lila and MJ. My job dropped with what he moved and how much it proved that he loved her so much!!
I can't wait for more from this author as this one was so incredible!!
