New York, 1843
Can one heart belong to two people?
Sisters Rella and Adeen are fortunate, cherished, and loved. In the cloistered whaling village of Secret Cliffs, the Lace family live on the outskirts, respected and somewhat misunderstood. The brood of women thrives with their traditions and ways, unbothered by the occasional wayward glance by the locals.
On womanhood's cusp, Rella and Adeen discover traversing the edge is a perilous road. Emotion and reason do not always align, and temptation can test the strongest bonds, leaving ruinous ribbons in its wake.
A single man can tear apart a whole family-an entire legacy.
