Can changing your destiny be as simple as changing your name? Celeste Favreau believes it is.
Born into a life of poverty to a woman who she hardly thought of as a real mother, Pepper Jackson was a runaway at sixteen. She was taken in by a café owner and his son, who helped her get an education and gain her independence. When a potential employer said she wouldn't get anywhere with a name like Pepper, she reinvented herself. So was born winery heiress and socialite Celeste Favreau. Now, fifteen years later, Celeste Favreau is torn between two worlds: the life where she's a successful art director dating the influential, Kade Hayward and the world of Bayside Heights that she's kept secret from everyone, until her childhood friend, Kevin Young, comes back to remind her that maybe she's been running for too long.
If she goes back to her roots, she could make a real difference in her community. But if she stays with Kade he would give her the world. Her decision will change everything she ever thought she wanted.
