Crimes of the Brothers

Brothers are supposed to be kind... caring... supportive... protective.

Catherine Walman's brother, however, is not. He has maligned her reputation

until no honorable man will seek her company, wasted her dowry and endangered

her home with his gambling and now his new wife has made it clear Catherine is

no longer welcome.

The hand of fortune intervenes when a letter arrives advising Catherine that a

stranger has bequeathed to her "a home and money to keep it." Catherine seizes

upon this chance, hoping that it might be enough for her to be independent, to

be free - only to discover this stranger also had a brother, or two, or three.
