Bad Company

In the wake of her father's passing, Gloria Waring finds herself the self-appointed guardian of a fortune she isn't even meant to inherit. When she realizes her brother is being led to the altar by Teddy Lamont, a woman whose interest in the family name is purely transactional, Gloria chooses a path of calculated criminality. She steals her father’s will from the office of James Hamilton, a move designed to keep the true scope of the Waring wealth hidden from the predatory bride-to-be. However, the legal system proves to be less of a barrier than expected when Hamilton catches her in the act. Rather than calling the authorities, he offers a brand of sympathy that feels dangerously unearned. As Gloria peels back the layers of Hamilton’s own history, she discovers that her act of desperation has tethered her to a man with a much darker agenda, turning a simple family dispute into a complex game of leverage and moral compromise.
