THE SECOND CALDER

Juno Calder has spent her life believing her family was ordinary.

She was wrong.

After walking away from a marriage that slowly destroyed her confidence, Juno returns to Ashgrove, her family's decaying estate on the Georgia coast, to start over. Behind the library wall, she finds a faded photograph of two identical women laughing on a dock. One is her grandmother, Eleanor. The other has been erased from every family record.

A forgotten twin named Celeste.

Juno begins asking questions. Why was Celeste erased? Why did she disappear? And why did she leave behind a fortune no one in the family has ever mentioned?

The answers lead Juno into a world of old money, shipping empires, secret trusts, and enemies who have spent decades protecting one devastating secret. The will names her sole heir, but the family never expected her to claim it. Her uncle wants control of the estate. Her ex-husband, Philip Ross, wants her back. And someone is willing to destroy Juno before she discovers why her aunt was erased in the first place.

Gabriel Vance, the auditor sent to examine the estate, has secrets of his own. Juno must decide whom to trust before the truth buries her too.

For the first time, Juno isn't trying to fit into someone else's world. She's discovering that she was born to inherit it.
