Claire wants nothing more than a quiet, ordinary life. That dream shatters when police inform her that her father has been spotted on the other side of the world. Lord Spenser vanished three decades ago after his wife accused him of murder. His fellow aristocrats rallied around him, refusing to believe one of their own could commit such a crime, and he used their protection to disappear completely. Now Claire must confront the truth she has spent years avoiding. The daughter of a fugitive lord faces an impossible choice between the peaceful existence she craves and the reckoning that her family's dark history demands. To find any hope of tranquility, she will have to face the ghosts that have shaped her entire life.
