Seven-year-old Lily Whitmore hasn't spoken a word since her mother's death. Twenty-seven nannies have come and gone. Then Emma Carter — sunshine in human form, secretly hunting the charity scam that destroyed her orphanage — walks in as nanny number 28. Armed with paper stars and stubborn courage, she unlocks the little girl's silence, melts her grieving billionaire father's heart, and digs up the mansion's darkest secret: a half-burned letter, a forged diary, and a housekeeper who polished every mirror in the house just so she'd never see herself. When Lily finally speaks, the truth comes out — and the whole house burns with it.
