Claim the Crown

Who is Ashley Wakefield?

That was the question that puzzled a lot of people. For five years anonymity had been Ashley's refuge, until the day the lawyer announced that she and her twin brother, David, were the beneficiaries of an enormous trust fund. Ashley had looked to her uncle for answers, but he couldn't -- or wouldn't -- help her.

Then Ashley tempted fate by claiming the jewels that waited for her in a Swiss vault. One photograph of her wearing those magnificent gems was all it took to spark vivid memories of a night long ago. They were memories that some believed should remain forgotten -- at any cost.

Now yesterday's secrets are more dangerous than ever.
