Unfinished Business By Nora Roberts :)

Vanessa is a 24 yr old, world famous key board player, a simple girl with wonderful heart that can be incurably hurt when she is forced to leave her mother, town in which she grew up, and her high school sweet heart Brady behind.


Vanessa leaves the place when she was 16 and after 8 years she comes back, after her father's death, to find few answers to her questions. 


Loretta, Vanessa's mother, finds it difficult to patch up all the lost years with her only daughter.


They missed each other so much, are terribly needed by each other, and they by force made apart.


Vanessa wants to know why her mother let her go?


Loretta has her reasons not to interfere with her husband's decision.


Vanessa's father is himself a very good keyboard player but it annoys him that after some time he fails.
He wants to realize his dreams in his only daughter. And then he finds something about his wife, of her affair which she makes out of loneliness, he takes their daughter with him and block all the letters Loretta writes to Vanessa in all the years.


Joannie is Vanessa's best friend in their school, and Brady is Joannies' brother :D


Brady and Vanessa fall in love when he's 18 and she's 16 and they dream so many things of their wonderful future together. Brady promises her to take to his prom and fails her.
She couldn't forgive him for that and after this, she leaves the place.


Brady was attractive and reckless, and after all these years he becomes responsible and remains attractive only to make things difficult for her :P


But she has no plans to give him another chance to break her heart again. Not until he no longer bears her rejection and explains her the reason behind his absence that night. Vanessa's father gets him arrested, that night, for he sees Brady may stand in his path of making his daughter shine like a star with all the reputation she's due to receive.


Even after everything seems to be settled, Vanessa still finds it difficult to agree for a marriage as she could not forget her parents failed marriage.


She doubts herself whether she could handle it or not.


Then she meets Gabriella, Princess of Cordonia ( Bennets' sister in the Playboy Prince :d ) and learns one can not hold onto past so much that one may lose the present or future.


Clearing all her doubts, she happily falls in the arms of Brady :D <3


And they live happily ever after :):)
