By Jo-Ann Power

Book Overview

Jo-Ann Power's Treasures was celebrated as "a rare, special love story by a mega-talented author whose words shine with beauty and luminosity" (Kay E. Bendall, The Book Rack, Richmond, VA). In this sparkling sequel to her beloved romance, Jo-Ann Power returns to Victorian England in all its passion and propriety, as a spirited lady seeks the help of the nobleman she cannot afford to love....

A young girl's tragedy brought them together

As headmistress of The Farrell School for Young Ladies, Jessica Leighton-Curtis had buried her demons by devoting herself to her work...until one student's plight touches her personally. She sees glimmers of herself in Amanda Emory, a gifted young pianist despondent since a devastating riding accident. In an effort to reach her, Jess implores Randall Templeton, marquess of Ashford, to share his musical gifts and help heal Amanda. But Jess has never met a man as generous as Rand, a man who poses a threat, yet offers a promise....

Dark secrets kept them apart

Randall Templeton agrees to see Amanda, becoming nearer and dearer to Jessica herself and unleashing the terrors locked in her shattered soul. Yet even as Jess yields to an intense desire, her memories whisper that she must not care for him. But Rand's gifts of trust and soulful love may be enough to help her bring her past to light....

Rand was a perfect man; completely attentive to Jess's needs and he was so in love with her you just knew that he would do anything to please her. The author did a good job of keeping him manly rather than foppish. This book was about two things: neurological problems and sex. It read like a textbook with a few (graphic) love scenes thrown in just to remind the reader that this was a love story. The tragic problems of Amanda and others notwithstanding, this is certainly a memorable book, but not one of this author's better works.
