Forget the past

When Emma Monaghan is summoned by her father to return from a girls' boarding school, she has a sneaking suspicion of what awaits her. As the daughter of the most influential industrialist in Manchester, her marriage to the son of Viscount Ashford is intended to secure the family' s dream entrance into the world of aristocracy.

However, fate plays a different game. After her father' s secret is suddenly revealed, Emma' s life is turned upside down. Beneath the veneer of a successful businessman, she discovers a dark web of intrigue, hatred, and injustice that reaches far further than she could ever have imagined.

Fortunately, she is not alone in this ordeal. She has a man by her side who, like her, believes that honor and humanity are more than social status. And with mutual support, they face those who are willing to sacrifice human lives for their ambitions.
