Heir (A Remembered Classics Romance Book 11) by J.L. Wilson is a riveting and suspenseful tale of second chances and the quest for freedom and identity. Jessa, a young woman who spent her first sixteen years as a prisoner, is finally freed by the determined police officer Nick Kingson. Now, years later, Nick returns to protect Jessa as her estranged father wants to reconnect with her. He is powerful and rich. With danger following them, Jessa and Nick travel back to the town where she was once held captive, but she's no longer the girl who was once trapped in a tower.
