Don't Touch My Daughter

After heart surgery abroad, Winslow matriarch Helena comes home to learn that her twenty-two-year-old daughter Isabella is nine days away from marrying Conrad—a sixty-year-old, thrice-divorced real estate tycoon. The housekeeper's daughter Selena and the three orphan boys Helena raised as potential husbands have already taken over the estate: Isabella has been banished to the attic, slandered, drugged, unlawfully confined, and stripped of her property. Helena first cuts off Conrad's financing, then reclaims every stolen asset. Isabella secretly records the evidence, and mother and daughter use money, surveillance, and the law to bring them all down. Five years later, Isabella marries a professor she chose herself—and Helena finally understands that the real inheritance is not a castle, but freedom.
