Theme: Amorous entanglements, a Victorian haunted mansion, a fetching feline abhorred the visiting specter & small-town social politics. Ta-da! the impassioned plot of this unduly dramatic novel. Based on true characters whose names have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent in this long-running narrative. Given the three leading characters of the story, especially their respective and interactive dramatics, their 3-way amorous affair qualifies the subtitle of this multifaceted novel. It all begins with an invite for Lux Carey to move to a reputed quiet hamlet some sixty miles north of Denver, Georgetown. The invite is from his good friend, Ailis Finnin, which she offered soon after Lux returned from Paris where he anticipated a Christmas visit from his fiancé, Shannon, who, instead, sent him the proverbial 'Dear John' letter. Broken-hearted, Lux's spirits were understandably broken. Moreover, he had no idea what he was going to do once back in Denver, and, of course, no longer engaged. This is where his long-term friend, Ailis, once again walks into his life. Thus, proposing that he should consider moving into her family's Victorian mansion and vacation home, and serve in the role of a caretaker. Ergo, an opportunity to heal his ongoing emotional wounds. In the meantime, his friend-turned-possible future landlady offer was indeed tempting. Soon after arriving, and seeing the charming Victorian hamlet and so-called "Silver Queen of the Rockies," Lux tours the prepossessing residence that is replete with priceless antiques and turn-of-the-century furnishings & thinks the house Ailis named Skye Keep is closer to a museum than a palatial hideaway to take time out (i.e., do what Ailis says will be good for his broken heart and troubled soul--her words). Finally, he accepts the offer. Little does he know Ailis concealed amorous desires are not only seeking his caretaker's services but because she has always admired his affable nature and sexy charm (again, her words). Once settled in as the caretaker, soon begins another twist to this engaging, though convoluted narrative, although 'theatrics' is a better noun to describe the imminent and literal affair in the making. Ergo, Lux eventually becomes Ailis' secret paramour-secret because she is also 'happily' married to Caelan, a doctor, who privately accepts Ailis' plans for a confidential ménage à trois affair, the same as he prefers for himself. In time, Lux meets an attractive Georgetown shop owner, Kat Priory, who soon finds herself privately attracted to the striking and amiable 'newbie' in town. Then again, Kat is not friendly with Ailis, and for a variety of reasons She also senses Ailis is having a secret affair with Lux. So begins a new ménage à trois, and, this time, based on the contentious rivalry between Lux's two competitive suitors. Consequently, Lux is caught in the proverbial middle and is confused given one of two options: break off his relationship with Ailis and move to Denver, and possibly somewhere else, or accept Kat's amorous and lustful enticements. Therefore, remain in Georgetown, only no longer Ailis' caretaker or paramour. Further complicating this romantic debacle is when Shannon visits Georgetown seeking reconciliation with Lux. From there, an already romantic thorny drama gets even more dramatic. As Lux's amorous dilemma eventually turns out, he & the cat he named "GT" depart Georgetown, therefore putting an end to a veritable three-way competitive romantic affair 667 pages format 7 X 10 Thanks for dropping by.
