"I'm going to ruin your family just like you've ruined everything I have." 

That summer, Anne Brown died along with her mother. That part of her was broken, adrift, and lost in the agonizing guilt that she couldn't save her from the grip of Bonnie Schnider, the woman who ruined her life. After her death, Anne was taken in by her wealthy grandparents in Yorkshire until she was twenty-three years old; Anne eventually moved to Richmond toward her dream of revenge. There, she met Liam Howle, a thirty-four-year-old surgeon, the Schnider pride, and the lover of the family's only daughter, Cindy Schnider. 

To get closer to them, Anne got a job at The Country Club in Westhampton, a private property where all the rich among the wealthy live their remaining luxurious lives, sharing the gossip of the elites. Anne was drawn inexorably into a narrowing, dangerous circle of the gentry.
