She’d been raised in an upper-middle-class family and had spent plenty of time in beautiful, museum-perfect houses, but none of them came close to this. It was clearly a mansion, with a tall stone archway over the front door and a dozen paned windows sparkling across the wide expanse of the front of the house, but there was a homeyness to the design that made it very welcoming instead of imposing. The driveway led to a turnaround with a water feature in the center. It was built like a natural waterfall and was surrounded by trees and evergreen shrubs. Derek’s directions indicated that she should drive past the waterfall and turn right through a porte cochere into a courtyard. Ahead of her was a huge garage with six bays and a tall, arched door at the far right end. She saw a black SUV parked in front of one of the bays and wondered if it was Derek’s. As she pulled her car to a stop in front of the arched door, Derek jumped out of the SUV and came toward her.
