Tessa Cambridge has spent her entire life wondering where she came from.
One phone call is about to give her the answer.
And nothing will ever be the same.
Raised in London by her beloved Nanny Evie and her godfather, Sir Ramsey Wheyland, Tessa built a life far removed from the questions surrounding her past. She followed her dream to America, became an attorney, and found success at one of Washington, D.C.'s prominent law firms-one owned by Xavier Baillou.
For the first time, Tessa believes she knows exactly where her life is going.
She even finds herself wondering whether she might finally have the courage to tell Xavier how she feels about him.
Then the phone rings.
A revelation about Tessa's lineage threatens everything she thought she knew about herself-and draws her directly into the tangled history of the Baillou family.
The truth reaches far beyond Tessa.
It will affect Xavier.
It will reopen secrets that were never meant to surface.
And somewhere beneath generations of deception lies a truth that Alexandre must never discover.
As bloodlines intersect and buried histories emerge, one question remains:
Does blood reveal who you truly are-or merely bind you to the secrets of those who came before you?
Fist Full of Lies: Blood Ties That Bind is Book Two of the Fist Full of Lies series, where family, identity, love, and deception collide-and every truth uncovered threatens to expose another lie.
Some secrets are buried.
Others are inherited.
