The sequel to The Fearless Woman
After a lifetime of hardship, Cassie Nash finally finds a glimmer of hope. Taken in by her long-lost father, Bob Huntley, only to lose him to a sudden illness, Cassie is left with a sizable inheritance and the family estate. Entrusted to the care of Bob's estranged wife, Olivia Falco, Cassie begins to build a new life, surrounded by a chosen family who offers her the love and stability she has always craved. However, her newfound peace is shattered when her estranged aunt, Michelle Huntley, emerges, determined to contest the will. Michelle, a formidable and ruthless solicitor, views Cassie as a conniving interloper who cheated her family out of their rightful fortune.
Despite Olivia's stark warnings about Michelle's cold nature, the idealistic Cassie is determined to connect with her only remaining blood relative.

A mysterious connection between her late mother and Michelle's husband, Jackson Knut, sets Cassie on a dangerous path to discovery.
