Synopsis
In this work of romantic suspense by bestselling author Elizabeth Lowell, the ugly buried truths about a powerful political family endanger a young woman intent on digging them up. Elderly Winifred Simmons y Castillo hires genealogist Carolina "Carly" May to research the history of the Castillo family. It's a tale inextricably intertwined with that of the closely related Quintrell clan whose ruthless, randy patriarch, A. J. Quintrell III--Winifred's brother-in-law and a former Senator--has just died (been murdered, actually, but no one but the killer knows that). Unfortunately, Carly's work threatens to uncover any number of nasty secrets, secrets for which someone is clearly prepared to kill to keep quiet. Thankfully, Carly soon finds a protector: Dan Duran, a sullen but devastatingly handsome man who has his own mysterious connection to the Quintrells.

Industry reviews
"Skillfully handled entertainment, with a bonus in reader-friendly lessons in how to launder money, spike a drink and read a genomics report."
Kirkus (05/15/2005)
"Elizabeth Lowell creates dialogue with immediacy and emotional coloration that sets her apart from the romantic suspense pack."
Publishers Weekly (05/30/2005)
"The always awesome Lowell pulls out all the stops with this taut, surprising and slightly disturbing tale of romance, danger and family drama. When played like this, genealogy is a very dangerous game."
Romantic Times BOOKclub - Jill M. Smith (07/01/2005)
