High atop a snow-covered hill, the stately old Wyatt
mansion is perched like a crown, its stone spires pointing
upward, its stained glass windows glowing like colorful
jewels. Such opulence means success and, surely,
happiness. But on the eve of wealthy philanthropist Cecil
Wyatt’s eightieth birthday, all the money in the world
won’t bring back his missing grandson, William Wyatt. The
only thing for certain: Foul play was involved.
The family, the police, the media–all have tried in vain
to discover the young man’s fate. Now suspicion has turned
shockingly toward William’s own half-brother, the rather
distant and enigmatic Mitchell Wyatt.
Kate Donovan never dreamed that a chance romantic
encounter on a tropical island paradise would tag her as a
suspect in a high-society murder case. But after Kate
tangles with the darkly charismatic Mitchell Wyatt, she
finds herself cast in a shadow of guilt and mistrust. As
the Chicago police tighten their net, it will take all of
Kate’s ingenuity to clear her name. With her calm, cool
wit, and the help of a man who may or may not be a
dangerous catch, Kate vows to claim the life and love she
desires.
