The first in an explosive series featuring the Strong family and a legacy of lies that leads to passion, love, murder, and heartbreak…

Barbados, 1818: A terrible tragedy strikes the Strong family sugar plantation on the idyllic island of Barbados. The Strong family, determined to keep the shocking event a secret, swiftly moves to conceal it. However, secrets have a way of resurfacing, and twenty-two years later, Blanche Strong, the living, breathing proof of that night, finds herself alone in the world, yearning for answers about her past.

Otis Strong, the second eldest son of the Strong Sugar dynasty, arranges for Blanche to travel to Bristol and be installed in the Strong family home at Marstone House, where they can keep her under their watchful eye. Blanche, lulled into a false sense of security and harboring her own suspicions surrounding her parentage, dreams of being acknowledged as the daughter of one of the three sons. However, her hopes are dashed upon her arrival, as she is treated as nothing more than a servant. Only her friend, Captain Tom Strong, the adopted son of Jeb Strong, the youngest of the three brothers, shows her any kindness. The identity of Blanche's father remains a secret, one of many that the Strong family wishes to keep to themselves.
