He has always known that he was meant for great things.
With great looks and a brilliant mind, you would think that becoming successful would be as easy with those two things however he lacks one thing: connections.
Getting connections however is easy enough as long as you marry the right rich girl and he found her, Dorothy Kingship however there's a suddenly a problem.
Dorothy became pregnant and even he knows that a rich man would disown his unwed pregnant daughter and He would end up with nothing.
So, he hatches up a plan to take care of the situation.

This was such a suspenseful listen! I really did enjoy this and I didn't notice the guy's name was being held until I was trying to figure out his identity.
I thought I had it figured out, but boy I was wrong.
The buildup was great, and I liked the end but it could've been better if
SpoilerMarion was the one who avenged her sisters. I get why she didn't, but it would've been better if she did.

It's a good listen and a great suspense novel.

This man knows how to plot out every single detail and payoff in the story from the first page. How the hell was this his first book?
