November 17 – December 12, 2025 Virtual Book Tour
Synopsis:
Sabree Warner's biggest mistake wasn't taking the job—it was being born.
Drowning in grief and desperate for work, brilliant cancer researcher Sabree Warner leaps at the chance to join Montague Pharma, one of the world's most powerful pharmaceutical dynasties. Her first assignment seems straightforward: investigate why promising drug compounds were mysteriously abandoned before they could be developed into life-saving medicines.
But someone doesn't want her digging. A car nearly runs her down on a quiet street and speeds away, and her apartment is vandalized. Undeterred, Sabree probes further and uncovers a twisted game of corporate espionage. The abandoned drugs weren't shelved by accident—they were buried to hide a secret that could destroy the Montague empire.
Then Sabree discovers her connection to the powerful Montague family runs deeper—and deadlier—than she could ever imagine. As a vicious succession battle rages, someone has been watching her every move, someone who has already killed to keep the truth about her identity buried. In this world of ambition and ruthless power games, Sabree is fighting for more than answers.
She's fighting to stay alive.
Because in the Montague family, secrets don't stay hidden, they get eliminated.

My thoughts:
At first, I wasn't sure if I was going to like The Forbidden Heiress. It was a little slow to start, but about a quarter of the way in, I got sucked into the mystery. I ended up reading the last 3/4 in one sitting. I really liked Sabree. She was relatable, smart and turned her circumstances into strength. She is someone you want to root for to succeed. I did call one of the twists, but the other one was a surprise. Having lived and worked in the Boston Cambridge area for years, it was fun to see familiar landmarks in the story. This is a good solid mystery told from multiple perspectives. I do recommend it.
