About
A spellbinding tale of hidden desires, whispered secrets, and a darkness that lingers behind every locked door.
Yorkshire, 1898.
When twenty-one-year-old Lilianne Loxley is sent to Lord Bexton's isolated estate to work off her uncle's debts, she expects drudgery-not danger. With her gift for mimicry, she becomes Bexton's secretary-and his reluctant forger. Soon she's trapped in a scheme to create a "lost" novel by Emily Brontë, a deception that could make-or destroy-fortunes.
The house is full of secrets: footsteps echo in empty corridors, lemon-scented ghosts haunt her sleepless nights, and a portrait seems to watch her every move. Yet it's the living who unsettle her most-especially Wren McAllister, the sharp-tongued maid whose defiance hides a tender heart. Drawn together by loss and longing, Lily and Wren risk everything for a freedom neither has ever known.
As the line between truth and invention blurs, Lily uncovers a shocking connection to the Brontë family-and to Bexton himself-that will force her to choose between love, loyalty, and the dangerous power of her own pen.
