Deception

Darcy Michaels is ecstatic to travel to Somerset with her grandmother, the woman who raised her since she was not much more than a toddler. Somerset, a quaint town in upstate New York, appears serene and welcoming, like something out of a Thomas Kinkade painting. Who wouldn't want to live here? Upon her arrival, Darcy feels as though she has traveled back to the 1900s. Her grandmother grew up here. Why would anyone want to leave? Darcy soon discovers the quaint facade masks a treacherous turmoil. Everyone, while friendly enough, seems to be hiding something. Doc Ben, gram's first date; Matt Sullivan, gram's first love; Dennis Sullivan, the man Darcy has fallen for; and even Gram herself-all seem to be holding something back. Darcy realizes her arrival has stirred up a hornet's nest of activity. She receives veiled threats indicating she should leave. But why? She never even heard of Somerset until a month ago when shortly after her grandfather's passing, Gram mentioned she'd like to travel back to her childhood home. The townspeople all want to get close to Darcy as though she holds the secret that will destroy their peaceful existence. Maybe they believe that Darcy knows the truth Gram holds close to her heart. Darcy soon uncovers it all. She learns that sometimes deception is to protect the innocent.
