About This Book
In a coastal town, intertwined romances and social rivalries escalate from teas and parties into a tale of betrayal, an unexpected crime, and a wrongful conviction that sends one character into flight. Secrets about identity and inheritance emerge amid flirtations, duels of pride, and shifting loyalties; investigations and revelations overturn assumptions, reconcile estranged figures, and resolve several engagements. The plot moves from gossip and courtship through legal suspense and moral crisis to confession, reform, and a cautiously hopeful resolution for those who survive the upheaval.
