Cristin Terrill is a new author for me and an instant book buy now that I have gotten a taste for her craft of writing.
The story itself is not completely original. Premise of a poor girl, "Vika", finds out she has the opportunity to live a better life by marrying the Chapin heir, only to turn out he died in an explosion. Or did he? However, it does not end there for our heroine. She gets offer the chance to experience wealth under the charity and goodwill of the couple who received a nice windfall of being name the heir of the Chapin empire. Everything seemed to be going well for Vika until a sinister explosion makes her question if the Chapin heir death was a coincidence or planned. Together with Sky, they hunt for the answers. Along this journey, we see growth in both characters and justice they both deserve.

What I loved about this book is it kept me guessing differently. I thought I knew what this was all about but I was pleasantly surprised. Vika was a strong heroine. Her emotions were realistic for any girl pushed into a different environment but she did cave nor did she lose herself ultimately.

Overall, I throughly enjoyed this novel. All the plot twist and answers were complete by the end of the novel and the ending was poetic. HEA
