Tressa Devlin is hiding from her villainous uncle in the house of a man she's never met. When Hannibal, the owner of the house, comes home, he finds a strange household set up, complete with nicknames like Miss Sweet-as-Pie (Doro), Miss Dearie-Dear (Tressa), and Mr. Wrong (Hannibal's cousin Robert). Hannibal is immediately attracted to Tressa who is so secretive it takes a while before he even knows her name. She fights her attraction to him while he first opposes and then approves his cousin's marriage to Doro. But Tressa still has secrets-- secrets that she can't tell for fear of endangering Hannibal's life. And secrets eventually catch up with everyone. A fresh writing style and intriguing characters liven up this tale.
