Description: Kay Scott grew up in the shadows of one of the city's most powerful families - her mother a housekeeper, Kay herself quietly devoted to the young heir who sat in a wheelchair and looked down on her for it. When her mother fell gravely ill and Kay begged for help, Marcus Hawthorne called her manipulative. When she vanished, he tried to find her for years. What he didn't know: Kay had not disappeared. She had been building. By the time she walked back into his world as his brother's wife, wearing a wedding ring and a new name, every piece was in place. The woman who destroyed her mother. The socialite who orchestrated her suffering. The family that believed money insulated them from consequence. Some flowers grow in the cracks of walls. They are patient. They don't require sunlight. And they are very difficult to remove.
