A forgotten manor.
A second chance at love.
A secret worth killing for.
Elara Voss returns to Haven Point to settle her grandmother's estate, expecting only dust and painful memories. Instead, she inherits Blackthorn Manor-and a web of secrets that ties her family to a 1978 disappearance and a painting hiding a code to millions in stolen art.
The only person she can trust is Sheriff Tom Henry-the man who broke her heart and never said why.
As they unravel cryptic diaries, hidden clues, and a threat that's been waiting decades, old wounds reopen and forbidden attraction reignites. But someone is watching. Someone who knows the painting's value-and will destroy anyone who stands in their way.
In a house where the past refuses to stay buried, love is the most dangerous risk of all.
Some inheritances come with blood.
Some second chances come with danger.
