Editor's Note
Doing the right thing…
Morgan Faraday is all set to wed Sebastian Reid, an oil mogul taking his company green. It’s a step up for Morgan, a struggling artist who wants to help the world. But Morgan soon discovers the dark truth about Sebastian’s company, and exposing him puts more than just her hopes and dreams in danger. De León (“A Spy in the Struggle”) unites mystery, intrigue, romance, and activism in this satisfying read about doing the right thing no matter the cost.
