Her gilded world holds a deeply hidden secret.
After years of tragedy, Gwen Kellerman now lives a quiet
life as a botanist at an idyllic New York college. She largely
ignores her status as heiress to the infamous Blackstone dynasty
and hopes to keep her family's heartbreak and scandal behind
her.
Patrick O'Neill survived a hardscrabble youth to become a lawyer
for the downtrodden Irish immigrants in his community. He's proud
of his work, even though he struggles to afford his ramshackle law
office. All that changes when he accepts a case that is sure to
emphasize the Blackstones' legacy of greed and corruption by
resurrecting a thirty-year-old mystery.
Little does Patrick suspect that the Blackstones will launch their
most sympathetic family member to derail him. Gwen is tasked with
getting Patrick to drop the case, but the old mystery takes a
shocking twist neither of them saw coming. Now, as they navigate a
burgeoning attraction and growing danger, Patrick and Gwen will be
forced to decide if the risk to the life they've always held dear
is worth the reward.
