Once there, Nora meets Lynx, seemingly half-man, half-god. She also finds strange coincidences between the estate in Australia and Whiteladies, including the name. Nora finds herself in the middle of a feud. If her life isn't already mixed up, she must also choose between Stirling or Lynx.
I loved this book. I was a big VH fan years ago, and read most of her stuff. This one is a little bit different - in the first part, the heroine grows up, and you see things from her point of view. She's a tough cookie. Part 2 is written from another character's point of view, and you get to see Nora from Minta's perspective.

A HS read, good romance.
