Secrets by Jude Deveraux (2008)

Quick read as I couldn't concentrate on anything heavier while waiting for my son to get out of a surgery to fix his broken nose. Cassie falls in love when she is 12 years old and accompanies her distant mother to a highly charged work retreat. She notices Jeff, who seems to be the calm in the middle of the storm. After college she finds that he is living in historic Williamsburg, VA, goes to work in the school his child attends, and becomes his nanny. Then there is the elderly movie star living next door, and Cassie starts helping her organize her memorabilia. But Jeff isn't quite the quiet engineer he pretends to be. Liked the image of a history buff living in this historical town. Since I have been there, I can see that it could be fun to brush with history on a regular basis, and have a fun place to take kids. I liked the precocious little girl,  the live in grand father, even the reclusive movie star. Good fluff book.
