Flights of Fancy (American Heiresses #1) - Jen Turano

Isadora comes from a wealthy family.  Her mother is encouraging her to make an alliance with a duke, but the man is vulgar, and possibly a murderer.  Izzie decides to take the advice of some friends and hide until her father can get home and talk some sense into her mother.  To do that, she answers an ad for a housekeeper at a farm in a small town.  Unfortunately, being an heiress didn't prepare her for taking care of someone's home.

And that someone is Ian MacKenzie.  He spends a lot of his time in Pittsburgh, and he wants to make sure his Aunt Birdie and Uncle Amos are taken care of.  This isn't an ordinary farm, but Izzie isn't an ordinary woman.  She talks Ian into giving her a chance to prove herself, and even though he's normally a tough negotiator, he finds he can't refuse her.

As these two get closer, they come to realize that the plans they've had for their lives may not be the path they need to be on.  Izzie wants to trust them with her secret, but she's afraid Ian and the others will treat her differently.  She wants to be appreciated for who she is.  With all the strange things happening at the farm, there's more going on than meets the eye, but how long can she hide the truth?

As usual, Turano weaves a good tale, but in my opinion, her strength is her characters.  I cared about all of them, even Buttercup and Elmer (and they're barnyard animals!).  It's a nice, easy read, and just what I wanted.  Good Book!
