Always Jane
(Book - Regular Print)

When eighteen-year-old chauffer's daughter Jane Marlow falls for Fen while still dating his brother Eddie, she lands in the middle of a longstanding competition between the two brothers that eventually threatens the future of their father's music empire.

As the chauffeur's daughter , Jane Marlow grew up among the domestic staff of a wealthy LA rock producer. Every summer Jane and her father head to the Sierras to work at the producer's luxury lodge at Lake Condor, a resort town and the site of a major musical festival. The family who runs the festival are the Sarafians, and Jane's had a longtime crush on their oldest son, Eddie-- doltish but sweet. When a romance sparks between them, she doesn't hesitate to cross class lines. On her returns to the lake, Jane connects with Eddie's brother. A fellow lover of music, Fen has been ousted from the family and is slumming it at a vinyl record shop. And he'll do anything to sabotage his older brother, even if it means taking a wrecking ball to a multi-million-dollar music festival. Or Jane's heart. -- adapted from jacket
