Hidden Heiress: They Lied

The woman's head knocks the doorframe edge, her eyes shut, a thread of blood at her lip as the man leans in close.

My head knocked the edge of it and I bit my tongue, and the taste of iron came up fast.

Preston

Say one word about Suki again and I'll put you through that window.

I'll tell them you slipped. Nobody in this building would write your name down.

Synopsis

The Crays raised me, then made sure I knew I was lucky to hold their coats. When Suki accused me of stealing her prize, the whole room believed her. I didn't beg. I showed them the mistake in her winning paper. The one I wrote first. They think I have nothing. They are wrong. I have a gift for finding what doctors miss, and one old woman who loves me without a price. When Hattie's heart fails, the people who threw me away want me to stay quiet to keep her safe. Then my real family comes for me, with an uncle who acts like a wall. The people who called me trash want to buy me now. They called me a thief. Now they can call me the heir.
