Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Elysia nodded, her face etched with solemnity. "She said it was Gideon!"

Unless something happened to the direct line, nobody else would stand a chance to claim the inheritance.

And for Gideon, that was a good thing!

Gideon was the epitome of self-interest, always in pursuit of power. With Kendrick disinterested in the family business, Gideon could easily maintain control.

So, why on earth would he kill Kendrick?
