About the Book

More Than Meets the Eye is the story of a complex woman’s search for significance. From Victoria Powers’ poverty-stricken upbringing, the only thing her mother passed down to her was this spiteful prophecy: “Nobody will remember you fifteen minutes after your funeral . . .” Now a world-class architect, Victoria is a complex woman with one simple desire—to prove her mother wrong. To accomplish that, she wields control—her weapon and her armor. But life isn’t simple as she juggles a daughter’s resentment, a son’s weakness, and a socialite’s vendetta. When problems at her firm escalates, she hires young genius Michael Wade. Ignoring their growing attraction, she decides to make a place in her life and in her business for Stephen Whitehurst, the person she has most loved and most deceived. Never has she allowed a man to dictate her world, but now two men command her thoughts—with one she shares a passion and with the other a history. When her past and present collide, neither the sanctity of Mont Saint Michel, the beauty of Italy, nor the pastoral simplicity of Switzerland can rectify the damage. Protecting all she holds dear and preserving her legacy will require More Than Meets the Eye.
