The Swindler's Daughter

The inheritance she never expected opens the door to the family she's always longed for and a dangerous legacy someone will do anything to protect.

Lillian Doyle believed her father died years ago. So when she learns he has only recently passed away—in jail—and left his entire estate to her, she is thrust into a world far removed from the socialite life her mother intended.

Traveling to a quiet Georgia town to claim her inheritance, Lillian expects little more than a neglected house and painful questions. Instead, she finds a determined young man who believes the property rightfully belongs to his family. The community is guarding long-buried secrets, and her legacy could prove to be far more dangerous than she imagined.

Jonah has his own reasons for protecting the home his mother was promised, but as he and Lillian search for the truth about the man who shaped both their lives, their reluctant partnership slowly becomes a friendship neither expected, and a tender attraction neither can ignore.

As danger closes in and her father's past comes to light, Lillian must decide if she can trust the man unlocking her heart and whether the truth could finally allow her to claim the future she's always wanted. Or destroy every hope she's begun to build.
