Left with her stepfather's relatives on Cape Cod following his sudden death, Melody feels utterly marooned. The wealthy, tight-lipped Logans harbour dark secrets - and no one but their kind-hearted son, Cary, will breathe a word about them.
Forced to live in the room and wear the clothes that belonged to Cary's dead twin sister, Melody sometimes feels she has no identity at all. But from the moment she learns that she and Cary aren't real cousins, the tender affection she feels for him matures into something much stronger. But although Cary has pledged his love for her, she knows she cannot echo his words until she discovers the buried truth about her past . . .
