Lacey Kincaid is a classic New York success story. As the owner of Odd Jobs, she's gone from rags to riches...sort of. Because Lacey's harboring a secret - she was born Lillian Dumont, and spent her childhood with a silver spoon in her mouth, until the deaths of her wealthy parents and the evil schemes of an abusive uncle forced her to take drastic measures. She'd never planned to return to her former life or her abandoned identity - but when her childhood sweetheart, Ty, resurfaces and urges her to claim her rightful inheritance, she decides that maybe being the Dumont heiress wouldn't be so bad. Lacey's uncle doesn't see it that way, though - and he's willing to do anything to stop her.
Now, it's up to Ty to protect Lacey before that silver spoon becomes a silver bullet. But if they live through this, the future's looking bright for this downtown guy and his brand-new uptown girl!
Because her uncle was abusive towards her, Lacey Kincaid faked her death 10 years ago and started her own business in New York City. Ty, her teenaged crush, helped her fake her death, but now he finds Lacey to inform her that her uncle is about to claim her inheritance. Marie Caliendo's narration gives Lacey a sweet, pleasing voice that is the perfect complement to Ty's deeper tones, especially when they rekindle their romance. Caliendo's tone takes on an air of sensuality during the love scenes, bringing the sizzling attraction to life. When Lacey's life is threatened, Caliendo quickens the pace and adds intensity to the narration, keeping the suspense simmering. S.M. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
