Book Description:

Riley Jordan has come home to Charleston to begin a new life-a life interrupted when she was a young child, and still haunted by vague memories of danger and mystery. After years of living the fast-paced life of New York's publishing world, Riley will be the editor-in-chief of Charleston's Premier Health Magazine. It should be the perfect life. But things are not what they seem. Soon, Riley, who has suffered amnesia since a traumatic event in her childhood, finds herself embroiled in the past history and current events of the powerful Radisson family, a family whose evil deeds have evaded the long arm of the law, and whose influence reaches far beyond the city limits. When Riley is confronted with three tiny coffins upon a visit to the former Radisson Estate, she begins a journey into the past that will bring her into contact with Summer Radisson and her sister Hayden. Forced by current events to return to her tortured past, Riley is confronted with long-buried secrets that have an impact not only on her life, but on the lives of Alex Keys, a detective who is trying to find out who she really is, and his former partner, Phil Leatherman, who was forced from his position in the department because he knew too much. Under suspicion herself, Riley vacillates between wanting to remember whatever may have happened, and a desire to put the past-whatever it might reveal-behind her, and start life over. But the past is imposing itself upon her very life. As she learns through a series of revelations, "Death is the key that opens the door to the past." This epitaph from Jefferson Radisson's grave may indeed provide answers to the secret that has been buried too long-and that will finally set Riley free.

PROLOGUE

"What was she going to do?" She sighed, releasing a shaky moan.

A look of uncertainty crossed her long face as she searched for an answer.

Was she going to give up-or go on? She felt her life slipping away. She knew there was no time left.

Ellie Radisson, a widow, was at the end of her rope; her deep-set eyes turned sad and her bottom lip quivered. Her anxiety built as her formerly imposing six-foot frame, now hunched with age, wandered aimlessly back and forth across the scarred wood floors of this once beautiful mansion. She peered into the dimly lit, neglected rooms with their sheet-covered furniture and peeling wallpaper.

As the first pelts of rain hit the house, eerie creaks and groans, suggesting ghosts, could be felt roaming the rooms of Radisson Hall. She sighed. She was suddenly too tired to fight off the haunting memories of her lost family and home. So many years filled with sorrow and pain have slipped away.

How could her father sell her to a man like Jefferson Radisson? A man she barely knew, she wondered, her eyes filling with tears. She was only twelve when he snatched her from her mother's arms.
