Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Some family legacies are built on wealth. Others are built on what was stolen.Kierra Thompson has spent her life being exactly what Charleston society expects: polished, obedient, and painfully aware that the Thompson name is worth more than her happiness. With her family fortune crumbling and their historic home falling apart around them, her mother has already chosen the solution: Beaufort Sinclair, an eligible heir whose money and connections could restore everything they've lost.Then Kierra meets Monty Dubois.Monty belongs to the docks, not Charleston drawing rooms. He works with his hands, lives by the tides, and carries a generations-old resentment against the Thompson family. Falling for Kierra should be impossible. Wanting her feels dangerously close to betraying everything his father taught him.But as quiet conversations become something neither of them can ignore, Kierra begins digging into her family's past and uncovers a secret buried beneath decades of respectability: stolen land, hidden payments, a forgotten woman, and a child erased from the family record.Now Kierra must decide whether preserving the Thompson legacy is worth becoming its next sacrifice, while Monty must decide whether love can survive a history neither of them created.A slow-burning Southern romance about forbidden love, old money, buried sins, and two people forced to choose between the stories they inherited and the lives they want for themselves.
