It all started with the reading of her grandmother's will…
Clarisse Morgan is unable to comprehend the hostility her estranged mother, sister, and two aunts are displaying toward her. She had lived with Grandma Diedre for several years before her death, and being named as sole heir came as no great surprise when she passed.
But the generous inheritance does nothing to ease the overwhelming loneliness after losing her beloved benefactor. Nor the stress endured from her relatives’ hatred and animosity. It’s time to move on and start over in the nearby city of Baton Rouge.
When Clarisse meets Dylan Hollander, the new next-door neighbor who offers to fix her flat tire, everything changes. His honesty and sense of humor are exactly what she needs, and the friendship that ensues quickly becomes more serious.
Love and glorious peace seem possible until a knock at her door brings a whirlwind of strife and discontentment. Exactly how far will her devious family go to get their hands on the generous gift her grandmother bequeathed to her?
