The True Legacy

In Jezelworth, Abby Davidson, the city's richest and most feared woman, demands marriage from the Bourn family. When Wallace Bourn, the heir, is chosen, his adopted brother Marshall Bourn steps forward to take his place. Marshall agrees to sign the agreement and marry Abby, asking only that Wallace guard their late father's grave for three years. Wallace, believing a fortune lies buried there, accepts with greedy delight.

But Marshall has lived this life before. In his last life, he was drugged, sent to Abby's mansion as a substitute, and died in his second winter of marriage. Now reborn on the day of the signing, he carries the memory of Abby's cold contempt and the Bourns' betrayal. He knows Abby's injuries and weakness are not what they seem, and that her rage is meant for the family she suspects of destroying her parents.

As Marshall enters Abby's mansion once more, he faces her scorn with a calm she cannot understand. This time, he intends to deal with Abby and expose everything the Bourns have hidden, starting with the evidence buried beneath his father's grave.
