On the opening pages of
Elizabeth Camden's recent book,
A Dangerous Legacy, you will meet Lucy Drake and learn about the forty-year-old battle her family has been waging. Lucy and her brother Nick simply want to learn the truth about whom in her family should have the rights to a newly developed valve that can easily provide the movement of water within a building. This is a necessity in the businesses and homes of New York City. Their uncle Thomas has claimed ownership of the valve and is currently living in the lap of luxury on what he has been overcharging people to have easy access to water. Lucy and Nick have been spending their days between their day jobs and battling the family war out in the courtrooms of New York City!
Lucy is spending much of her days interpreting the Morse code that comes across her desk, at the Associated Press. When she meets Sir Colin Beckwith, from the rival Reuters agency, she soon learns that they have more in common than just news. They both bear the weight of heavy family responsibilities. Lucy wants to provide water to all in the city, at a reasonable cost; while Colin feels the pressure of being able to cover the high costs of maintaining his ancestral home!
Hold on, as you will see Lucy attempt to fight her treacherous family, and Colin look for a rich source of funding to save his family home. By the final page of this tale, you will be surprised to learn where each finds a solution to their problems!
