It’s time to let them go.” Getting a taste of freedom and independence was the best – and worst – thing that could have happened to Theodore Carrington. Following in his father’s footsteps as a prestigious banker, or in any other way, was not how he saw his future. Escaping to the wilderness for several years has helped him to understand where his heart truly lies. The shackles of his past are not easily broken, but the bond of family and tradition are quickly left behind when he discovers he has been deceived.
