Olivia always knew her younger sister would get into trouble, but she never imagined the undercurrents of disaster would swell into a raging flood… Olivia was always the sensible one—the responsible sister. She took after their father, a man as cold and driven as the Cape Cod wind, possessed by an unrelenting need for respect and success. It was understood that she would one day take over his million-dollar businesses. She would become the unwavering compass and the resilient caretaker of the Logan family—whether she wanted to or not. But Belinda belonged only to herself. Flighty, flirtatious, and blessed with a beauty that promised her a privileged life, she was lavished with attention. Their mother and father, family friends, boys from school—everyone adored Belinda. And as she blossomed into a young woman, her beauty became even more haunting. She vowed never to grow up, determined to remain forever an enchanting little girl, adored and cared for. Then came that fateful night. Olivia was awakened by the low whistle of the wind off the ocean—a sound that grew into an unearthly wail from Belinda’s bedroom. It was the tragic night their father would forbid them to ever speak of again. The night they would never forget. The night that would send generations of Logans down an unavoidable path of lies, deceit, and heartbreak.
