Imogene Billings has always wanted her freedom from her mother. Now she has it.
But the ties between a mother and daughter are not so easily broken.
Estranged from the one person whose approval means everything, Imogene knows she needs to find a way back into Mother's good graces. Then she meets the perfect man: handsome, successful, exactly the kind of husband Mother would approve of. There's just one problem...
He already has a wife and daughter.
But Mother always taught Imogene that a problem is only a problem until you solve it. And Imogene knows exactly how to deal with this one.
There's just one thing she hasn't accounted for: her past, which is about to catch up with her.
