Return of the Hidden Heiress

Eighteen-year-old Wren Calloway grew up believing she was a charity case taken in by her aunt's family after her parents' deaths — never told that she is, in fact, the sole legal heir to the Calloway family's publishing-and-hospitality fortune. Raised as an unpaid housekeeper and now moonlighting as a dishwasher/busser at an upscale bistro to save for community college, Wren is quietly investigating scraps of her own past when a strange diamond-shaped locket — the one heirloom her mother left her — draws the attention of Adrian Voss, the reserved young CEO who owns the bistro's parent hospitality group. As Wren uncovers the truth about her identity, she must outmaneuver her cousin Bree Calloway and her aunt Marguerite Calloway, who forged documents to steal Wren's inheritance twelve years ago, while her ex-boyfriend Tyler Reyes re-appears now that rumors of "old Calloway money" are circulating. With Adrian's quiet, respectful support — never his rescue — Wren builds her own case, reclaims her name, and chooses a future and a love built on equality, not need.
