Fleeing from a murder and family tragedy in her native England, where she was the scandal du jour for the tabloid press, Theo Boart has built an undercover life in a close-knit San Francisco neighborhood. She didn’t expect to find love and friendship there and now she doesn’t know how—or if—to reveal the truth.
When the woman who threatens to expose her is murdered, Theo is plunged into the kind of jeopardy she crossed an ocean to escape. Worse yet, dangerous family secrets have followed her. Theo’s grandfather brings an even bigger breed of trouble to Theo’s doorstep by lifting a veil on the shadowy world he once inhabited as an agent for the British Secret Service, and her best friend discovers evidence of a grisly crime in the local coffee shop.
