Flame and Blood

“FIRE AND BLOOD” is a new novel by Françoise Bourdin, a continuation of the novel “Ice and Fire.” However, the book can be read as a standalone novel.
***
A lull won’t last long. Rivalry or love—what will you choose? Kate and Scott are finally happy; they have become parents. Never before has life felt so complete.
But a chain of events follows that turns everything upside down. On the eve of Christmas, Angus—Scott’s father and the patriarch of the family—suffers a heart attack and dies. The question of inheritance becomes more urgent than ever. Quarrels among the family members in the Gillespie mansion only make the fateful surprise left by the deceased even worse. When the stakes are high, the loser loses everything. Scott and Kate have to risk it, but in this rivalry they could lose an awful lot—perhaps even each other.
