Lara wanted nothing more but escape from her boring life in service by marrying the popular wealthy Pete Riverton, or so she thought. She hoped he would elevate her life to a higher position but only to find out she married a workaholic who father was a half breed with Slave owners ancestors with shocking scandalous family secrets and liars that now taints her own children and polluted their bloodline with corrupt and immoral behaviors.
