On the eve of her wedding, Lacey uncovers a problem too large for love to conquer-a destructive force within her family, which could put her fiance's life in danger. Lacey vows to uncover the secrets of her lineage, even if it requires her ultimate sacrifice: the loss of her marriage to her beloved Evs. Her quest leads from Tucson, Arizona to the Smoky Mountain backwoods, where even today, the shotgun is more respected than the law, moonshine stills explode, and family may not be what is expected. Heir of Deceit is a clean Contemporary Fiction novel appropriate for teens and adults.
