Isabel Turner, heiress to the notorious Deravenel family, shares the same red hair and fair skin as her ancestors. However, her appearance wasn't the only trait she inherited from her father, Edward. Astute and charismatic, she's also bold and ambitious; and, ruthless like her ancestors, she'll fight tooth and nail to defend what's hers. At 25, Isabel finally finds herself in the position she's always dreamed of: at the helm of Deravenels, the global conglomerate that represents the family's greatest legacy. With over eight hundred years of history, the company is a nest of snakes, and Isabel finds herself surrounded by sexist executives and former allies of her late sister, who detested her. The challenge of leading the company and steering it out of the troubles her sister created is immense, but Isabel is confident she can overcome it. However, that's not her only problem. Isabel has good friends and advisors at her side, such as Cecil Williams, her business mentor and expert on the lies and betrayals that permeate the market, and Robert Dunley, a childhood friend who, with charm and intelligence, helps her develop strategies to save the company. But trusted allies may not be enough to ward off the threat looming over her inheritance, especially when a distant cousin begins to claim the rights to Deravenels. Besides her passion for business, Isabel has other feelings stirring in her heart. When she becomes involved with one of her oldest partners, shaking the foundations of London's high society, she will have to protect herself from everything and everyone.
