Hidden Star

Nora Roberts

Cade Parris is in his office when the woman walks into his office. She doesn't know her own name nor does she have any memories from before she woke up in a hotel room. She does have a bag with over one million dollars in cash and a gun in it. She also has a priceless blue diamond. She wants to know why. She looks in the Washington D.C. phone book for private investigators and chooses his name. Now she wants him to find the missing person - herself.

Cade decides immediately she's the woman he has waited for all his life. He isn't going to let a little problem of identity get in the way. He promises to help her. He takes her home with him and begins the investigation. The dark dreams that haunt the woman are probably memories of the trauma that gave her amnesia.

There are some obvious clues. The note in her pocket probably means her name is Bailey. Her clothes indicate she is financially comfortable. Her speech seems educated. Cade is able to start tracing down who she isn't, and hopes to find out who Bailey is - and what happened to her.

Hidden Star is the first book in Nora Roberts' Stars of Mithra trilogy. The gems have a magical power when the three are together. The trilogy is three romance stories and one longer mystery. This is a throw away novel, nothing overly deep. It's satisfying. It's not up to the standards of other of her trilogies, but it's pleasant and readable.
