Adair of Starlight Peaks — Essie Summers

There was no trust. How could love last?

Jane Grey was aware that Broderic Adair resented her intrusion into her grandmother. Esmeralda's life. She knew he regarded her and her family as spongers on the bounty of an old lady.

But Jane had a problem that Esmeralda could help solve: and she wasn't about to let Broderic's antagonism drive her away.

What does it have to do with you, Mr. Adair? she asked icily. You're not even a relative!
