There are many sides to every story and Lucinda's tale is no exception. Lucinda's affair damaged Adam Fairfax and it took him years to recover. Most painted her as the villain, but did anyone think to ask her why their marriage collapsed? Why did she cheat on him? I dare you to turn back the clock and delve into a warped web of high society schemes and veiled threats. This is a world where people poison everything they touch and make a blood sport of betrayal. With all the lies and deception swirling around her like a murky swamp, it is no wonder Lucinda bought into it, letting it taint her soul and relationships. Yet none of them pose a greater risk than the shadows of her past. Note: This is a love story, but it is not a romance novel.This is a prequel to Crystal's Crucible (The Phoebe Braddock Books #3) and will feature some Book 2 characters. While you can read The Phoebe Braddock Books in any order, I suggest reading From Prying Eyes prior to this one to avoid spoilers.Content Warnings: This book contains content that may upset or offend some readers.
