NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED, AND THIS TIME IT'S BRUTAL
IT'S CHRISTMAS and the world is joyful for everyone but Josie Bates. A devastating miscarriage, her employer's pending retirement, and her husband's overseas job have left her alone and adrift—until Lily Daye dies and names Josie her executor. Josie has no idea who this woman is, but her will is simple and her possessions meager. In the spirit of the season, Josie accepts the job only to discover that behind Lily's s modest existence is a complex, mysterious life. When an eccentric tech mogul contests the will, the only spirit Josie is channeling is one of outrage: her life is being upended and Lily's last wishes disrespected. Up against a high-powered, ruthless attorney, a court on a schedule, and an entitled man with more money than God, Josie is determined to protect her client's interests or die trying.
