The Cost of the Record: Two Families, One Lie, No Survivors (The Scrutiny Covenants, Band 1) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In the city of Ashbourne, a surname is a fortress. For Isabella Whitmore, it is a cage.As the "Golden Daughter" of the country’s most powerful political leader, Isabella has been raised to be the perfect reflection of her father’s legacy: composed, untouchable, and silent. She knows that in the elite corridors of the capital, the truth isn't what happened—it’s whatever the headlines say it is.But when a decade-old corruption scandal resurfaces, the cracks in the Whitmore foundation begin to show. Across the courtroom stands Julian Ashford, the analytical and quietly intense son of her father’s greatest rival. He isn't interested in the polish of the Whitmore name; he’s interested in the body buried beneath it.Bound by their parents’ bitter history and a shared suspicion that the world they live in is built on a lie, Isabella and Julian are drawn into a dangerous, secret alliance. From the hushed archives of St. Jude’s to the high-pressure lights of the Midsummer Gala, they chase the ghost of a missing staffer and the trail of a shell company that shouldn't exist.But in Ashbourne, truth is a ransom.
