Walking the Pet - Craige Ingram Mystery Series (Paperback)

1756 - Ian Nachmasheeghan, the powerful, equally loved and loathed patriarch of the regal Nachmasheeghan family is dead. His legacy will live on in the form of his five sons, Josiah, Hampton, Ellison, Talbot and Gaston. The young men, while handsome and strong, are also spoiled and unprepared to take on the tasks of life that now face them. But a new shadow has been cast over the Nachmasheeghan estate.a shadow of knowledge that would have remained better left to rot in the grave with Ian. After her husband's death, their mother divulges a terrible secret--a secret that she had sworn at all costs, never to speak of while Ian was alive. Devastated by the news of what their father truly was, how will each young man cope with such shame.or will they? Who will be the first to shoulder the burden and carry on.or succumb to the humiliation of truth? Will it be the handsome, first-born son, Josiah or Hampton, the levelheaded son? What of the unfeeling Ellison--the outcast of the family, or the arrogant and snide, Talbot? Or will Gaston, the coddled, youngest son surprise them all? Enter Tolliver Jean-Leferr.a rogue and boorish man who holds the secret to Ian's past in the palm of his hand. But it is not the past he is interested in.it is his future and he decides to take what he wishes of Ian's legacy for his own. Will the once pirate-turned-gentleman's unmasking bring peace to the bereaved family? Or will what he knows bring the powerful Nachmasheeghan family to its knees.once and for all?
