Cassidy lived through physical, mental, and sexual abuse as a child, and barely escaped. She maintains a regimented life to give her the illusion of control over her fate, and she fell into the role of wedding and event planner. But she believes she cannot ever love, being too damaged. When the Lockwood wedding came to her firm, the Amaryllis, it brought her Caleb Lockwood. // Caleb is glad to help his little brother marry his lifemate... and in course of some standard background check, he found out about Cassidy's family... the Freemans... and how they survived and persevered through a nightmare. Caleb wanted to help Cassidy cope, and perhaps, even love, but the secrets he discovered will turn his family upside down... and reveal sins so deep and so dark, it had been covered up for decades... and someone is willing to kill to keep it all hidden...
Good plotting, with depravities so horrendous you'd wince, and let's just say "hell hath no fury like woman scorned", and let's leave it at that, as I don't want to spoil the story. The push-pull is pretty good, and setup for other volumes with the various brothers and so on are nicely fitted in.
