In the shadowy depths of Northumberland’s moors, secrets refuse to stay buried
Twenty years after a fateful night that shattered her family, Geneva Wimbley discovers a truth hidden in the floors of her childhood home: a half-written letter from her mother to a man Geneva only remembers as the great, swirling greatcoat, evidence of a betrayal that sends her to the crumbling estate of the Earl of Pender.
But the earl is dead, and the man who greets her in his stead is the enigmatic Noah Oshea, the late earl’s second son, who now holds the keys to the parts of her past still locked away.
Drawn to Miss Wimbley’s fiery resolve, Noah is determined to unravel her connection to his family’s dark history. Yet with her arrival comes a chilling string of murders—and whispers of a truth that refuses to be silenced.
As danger creeps closer, Geneva and Noah must untangle a web of lies and long-buried sins. But in the wilds of Northumberland, where passions burn as fiercely as the secrets they uncover, the most significant peril might be the surrendering their hearts.
