Forget Me Not

Forget Me Not by Fern Michaels

How well do you really know someone? What happens behind closed doors?

Illustrator Lucy Brighton has always lived the life of affluence, never wanting for material things. Growing up as the only child of distinguished physicians and the product of a boarding school education, Lucy honestly never really knew her parents. So when she receives a phone call relaying the news of their tragic deaths in an automobile accident, her heart is not filled with grief and pain, only ambivalence. Five years ago the only two people Lucy ever called family, moved to Florida giving her sole possession of a sprawling mansion in New Jersey. A house not a home. Five years not seeing or hearing from her parents. Now all this successful young woman wants and needs is closure.

Surely, a quick trip to the Florida retreat to tie up loose ends will enable Lucy to put this this chapter of her life behind her. Unfortunately, what she discovers leads her into a world of mystery and intrigue, arousing her suspicions that her childhood was a lie, nothing more than a well-written plot in a movie. Fake passports, bogus birth certificates, an arsenal of weapons all hidden in a high-tech safe; who were these people she once called Mom and Dad?

A cold, uninviting home where obviously no one lived. A cleverly staged arena-but why? When Lucy returns to New Jersey and finds the exact scenario hidden discreetly in this home, too, she realizes that she can't walk away from doing all she can to unearth the truth. Along with best friend, Angie, and new love interest, Luke, all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place.

This is an extremely easy read for those of you who might just want to slip away from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. A fun, playful story about a young, talented woman who longs to escape a life of loneliness......

And succeeds.
