About the book

The Crightons have everything that money can buy--position, power and elegance... but one fateful weekend destroys it all. Three generations of Crightons have gathered at the family estate for a fiftieth birthday party. But the expected celebration turns into an ugly battle for power, with the family inheritance as the prize. Brothers become rivals and allies become adversaries as family scandals become the weapon of choice. Past love affairs, embezzlement scams--nothing is sacred and all secrets can be betrayed for a price. The Crightons' carefully polished facade is crumbling. Will they learn to accept their not-so-perfect family in time to save it?
