Crystal Shadows — Michele Y. Thomas

It seemed like a godsend. Teresa Hawthorne jumped at the chance to escape her life of drudgery by accepting a post as tutor to the wealthy Curtis family. She knew that a breath of scandal surrounded the owners of New Hampshire's resplendent Crystal Hills Hotel. But that was no concern of hers. It was very much, however, the concern of Major Drake Curtis, the uncle of Teresa's young pupil. and the rudest man Teresa had ever met. For as old scandals were resurrected, and business at the hotel suffered, it began to seem as if someone was trying to ruin the Curtises. Someone who would stop at nothing to have his way. And the more Teresa fell under the spell of her magnetic employer, the more she herself became the unwitting target of a deadly conspiracy.
