When Ruby McTavish Callahan Woodward Miller Kenmore dies, she’s not only North Carolina’s richest woman, she’s also its most notorious. The victim of a famous kidnapping as a child and a widow four times over, Ruby ruled the tiny town of Tavistock from Ashby House, her family’s estate, which was passed on to her adopted son, Camden. Cam doesn’t want to live the life of a McTavish and moves to Colorado and marries Jules. But when Cam’s uncle dies, he’s finally summoned back to the estate, where the biological McTavishes are scheming to take possession of the estate and fortune. The story is told through Camp, Jules, and a collection of letters written by Ruby before her death; careful readers will quickly pick up on the plot twists.
