Handwriting expert Claudia Rose's latest client is Paige Sorensen, the beautiful widow of a wealthy older man. Paige is younger than--and hated by--her stepchildren. And they're dead set on proving that she forged their father's signature on his will, which left his entire estate, including the Sorensen Academy, to her.
 
Intrigued by this real-life soap operate, Claudia soon breaks one of the cardinal rules of business: Never get personally involved. But Claudia has grown attached to a troubled Sorensen student, and when disaster strikes, she'll realize that reading between the lines can mean the difference between life and death.
