The Good Son: A Novel

Wren Hastings crée de magnifiques espaces pour la vie des autres. Elle excelle dans ce domaine. Exceptionnelle, même. Ce qu’elle ne maîtrise pas, en revanche, c’est rester assez longtemps quelque part pour en avoir besoin. Quand un contrat de rénovation de six semaines la conduit au domaine Ashwood, dans la campagne du Vermont, elle s’attend à un client difficile, un budget généreux et une sortie sans accroc. Ce qu’elle obtient, c’est Dorian Ashwood : contrôlé, autoritaire, et qui se dresse sur son chemin dès son arrivée. L’offre qu’il lui fait lors de sa deuxième nuit sur place est simple. Participer au sommet familial en tant que sa compagne. Garder l’arrangement strictement professionnel. Partir quand le contrat prend fin. Elle pose ses conditions. Il accepte la plupart d’entre elles. Ce à quoi ni l’un ni l’autre ne s’attend, c’est ce qui se produit ensuite : la maison qui commence à lui ressembler, la famille qui l’absorbe sans demander la permission, et l’homme qui l’a choisie parmi un portfolio sans pouvoir expliquer pourquoi elle est la seule chose, dans son monde si soigneusement ordonné, qu’il ne parvient plus à maîtriser. Puis elle découvre les documents. Et l’arrangement cesse d’être le plus grand secret de la maison.

Après dix ans d'amour, mon fiancé Lucien Dubois a enfin accepté de m'épouser. Mais quand on prenait des photos de mariage, le photographe a demandé quelques clichés de baisers, il a froncé les sourcils, a parlé de sa prétendue obsession de propreté, m'a repoussée et est parti seul. J'ai présenté des excuses, gênée, aux membres de l'équipe. Par ce jour de forte neige, il était impossible de trouver un taxi. J'ai marché avec peine dans l'épaisse couche de neige, avançant pas à pas jusqu'à la maison. Mais par la fenêtre, j'ai surpris Lucien serrant son premier amour dans ses bras et l'embrassant avec une ardeur interminable. « Isabelle, il me suffirait d'un mot de toi pour que je fuie ce mariage ! » Mes années de fidélité et d'attente se sont effondrées, tournées en dérision. Après avoir pleuré toutes mes larmes, j'ai choisi de fuir avant lui. Plus tard, dans tout notre cercle, la rumeur a couru. On disait que le jeune maître de la famille des Dubois avait parcouru le monde à la recherche de son ancienne fiancée, implorant son retour.
