In the Company of Secrets


MILLER, JUDITH
IN THE COMPANY OF SECRETS

Olivia Mott didn't intend to lie. Somehow, it just happened. And wasn't it all Lady Charlotte's fault anyway?

Now Olivia's position as assistant chef at Pullman's elegant Hotel Florence is dependent upon her keeping her secrets. And sometimes lies have a way of leading to other lies. Should Olivia admit her real past and accept the consequences or keep quiet in order to preserve her comfortable new circumstances?

Deception seems to be part of everyday life in the company town of Pullman, Illinois, where the grand Pullman Palace Car is manufactured. Samuel Howard, Olivia's friend and the town manager, seems to think everything is fine, but Olivia observes something quite different. Could it be that Olivia is not the only one harboring secrets?

WONDERFUL HISTORICAL DETAIL. FIRST IN A SERIES SO THERE ISN'T COMPLETE RESOLUTION. THE ROMANCE BETWEEN OLIVIA AND FRED IS DISAPPOINTINGLY UNRESOLVED. THANKFULLY, THE 2ND IN THE SERIES IS OUT AND I CAN FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS!
