Review: Talk about egotistical women!
Gillian Hudson is living with her grandaunt, Mrs. Wanda Elberly. [remember the lady with the singing "Crystals"?]
Well, Wanda gave Gillian a crystal to wear or at least carry around with her. Seems like Gillian can hear the crystals also and it appears like the crystals listen to these women. They can tell them to hush.

Gillian has come from California to hide out with Wanda because of nearly getting killed when her best friend Ida was plowed down by a hit and run driver. Ida had been receiving stalkers letters and then the supposed killer commited suicide.

Gillian is now receiving similiar letters being mailed from all across the States.
Wanda has hired a mountain man to paint her house by the name of Taggart Devereaux. He seems to be quite a hunk. Gillian is a bit peaked that Taggart has no trouble ignoring her.

Gillian is a bit disconcerted when Ida's widowed husband, Harold Hyatt and his twin sister Evelyn show up and insist on taking her back to California to protect her.

Ah, but now the fun begins, Taggart is not completely immune to Gillian but he still refuses to have anything to do with her but isn't bothered when Evelyn starts a strong campaign to seduce him into her bed. Ah, twinges of jealosy - from both parties.

It seems that Gillian's crystal tries to warn her of immediate danger but [dumb] Gillian is always hushing the crystal.

Taggart has a plan to protect Gillian up the mountain in his cabin [turns out to be a beautiful house], there Gillian meets his mother and brothers.

There is a lot more than what I have revealed -- hope you try this saga -- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- you shouldn't be sorry!
