Used Book – The Orchards of Lies, Gardner Darlene

"Luck has smiled upon me: I have just come into a considerable fortune. I want to share it with a very special person dear to my heart: my daughter, Constanzia, whom I had to abandon at birth, and to whom I appeal today to come forward if she recognizes herself and can forgive me..."

When Constanzia Carter hears Sofia Donatelli speak these words on television, when she sees the woman's face fill the screen, she immediately knows with absolute certainty that she is the only Constanzia to whom the message could be addressed. For she has always felt that she was not her parents' biological daughter. So, she doesn't hesitate for a second: leaving everything behind, she goes to meet Sofia, in the gentle orchard region of Ohio. There, she is received by Tony Donatelli. Sofia's arrogant stepson makes no secret of his hostility: for him, she is just another adventurer showing up at Sofia's, and he will do everything to force her to reveal herself. Yet, neither Constanzia nor he can ignore the intense desire that burns between them...
