Some families bury more than the past.
Emily grew up in a broken home and did everything she could to leave the chaos behind. She built something steady. Something quiet.
Then she caught the attention of Daniel Winthrop, heir to one of New England’s most powerful dynasties.
He swept Emily off her feet, married her, and gave her a mansion on the cliffs. But the secrets that could bury her came with it.
Don’t wander at night. Don’t ask about the west wing. Absolutely don’t open the door to the basement.
And those rules aren’t warnings. They’re survival. Emily wanted a fresh start. What she found was a family legacy soaked in dark secrets. But Emily learned long ago how to survive storms.
Whatever the Winthrops are hiding, she will drag it into the light. Including the cruelest secret of all: why Daniel married her in the first place. Can Emily survive what she finds?
