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 high in the Blue Ridge Mountains. But in the aftermath of her death, her adopted son, Camden, wants little to do with the house or the money—and even less to do with the surviving McTavishes.

Bellissima, selvaggia, inquietante: è Meroe, isola al largo delle Hawaii del tutto disabitata, poco più di un sasso lanciato nel mezzo del Pacifico, con una storia misteriosa di naufragi e scomparse. La destinazione perfetta per chi vuole un po' di avventura e qualche brivido. O per chi vuole scappare da qualcosa. E scappare è esattamente quello che Lux fa da una vita: scappare dal passato, da una famiglia che l'ha delusa troppo presto, da una versione di se stessa che non le è mai piaciuta.
