With few options remaining, Vivian Patin decides to restore the family fortunes by turning Rosebank into a resort hotel.

Murder changes everything.

Vivian's dream becomes a nightmare when she finds the family's lawyer dead on the sprawling grounds of the estatewith a rose in his chest and a brilliant lipstick mark on his cheek. Suddenly Vivian begins to wonder if her father's death was really an accident. . .and if the entire Patin family is marked for murder.

Can the killing be stopped?
