Life seemed perfect for Bridget Devlin. Her first nursing job had transported her from a provincial Irish village to the sophisticated world of San Francisco's moneyed elite. She hadn't anticipated that the family matriarch who had been placed in her care would become a warm and welcoming friend...or that Richard Hudson, the dowager's handsome grandson would return her affections. But when the elderly woman dies and leaves her estate to Bridget, the family's reaction is swift, cold and life isn't perfect anymore. Richard is suddenly unsure if this blue eyed Irish lass was a calculating fortune hunter all along as his mother believes or is simply an innocent thrown into an impossible situation. Richard and Bridget must face the consequences of his grandmother's legacy. But will they ever discover that her greatest bequest was love?
