The Thorne Heiress Unveiling Shadow novel Chapter 42

While the Suttons were imploding in a small Queens apartment, Kaelen Blackwood was facing a very different, and far more frustrating, problem. He was a man who believed that information was power, and for his entire life, he had been able to acquire any information he wanted. His corporate intelligence division was a legendary machine, staffed by ex-spies and data analysts who could uncover the deepest secrets of rival corporations and foreign governments.

She was, for all intents and purposes, invisible. As instructed by her adoptive parents."
