About this audiobook
Thrust into a life of unexpected poverty, a young woman makes a fateful, morally ambiguous decision to secure her future by hiding a crucial will. Her desperate act sets off a chain reaction of deceit, forcing her to navigate London's unforgiving social circles while harboring a toxic secret. As she rises in status, the guilt of her deception threatens to unravel her newly built life and destroy her chance at genuine love. The psychological tension ratchets up as the truth inches closer to the light. This gripping tale of consequence proves that the road to redemption is never a straight line.
