  Summary

  When Matilda and Caradoc Cannock’s uncle Alef, missing for weeks, is finally found assisting a notorious crime lord, his betrayal threatens to tear their family apart. But Matilda is sure there’s more to this story than meets the eye. To save her influential family’s reputation, she takes matters into her own hands and begins to investigate. Caradoc, on the other hand, in his attempts to stay out of the drama and the conflict, stumbles upon an unexpected source of his own.
  As these two discover the secrets of their family lineage in the midst of unwanted attention and old conflicts, they soon realize that the truth may be even more unbelievable than even the press had imagined. Will they be able to rewrite the narrative before the strain tears their family apart?
