Some secrets are spoken. The deadliest ones are kept. Isla has a secret. To the world, she is the fragile, selectively mute bride of Elias Thorne-the reclusive tech billionaire widely believed to have murdered his first wife, Clara, two years ago. Elias wanted a wife who couldn't speak to the press, couldn't gossip, and couldn't scream. Isla played the part perfectly. But Isla isn't a victim. She's an undercover investigator, hired by Clara's family to infiltrate Elias's isolated island estate, find Clara's body, and secure the evidence needed to put him away forever. As a massive winter storm cuts Blackwood Cove off from the mainland, Isla begins her hunt. But the deeper she digs into the gothic manor and the man who owns it, the more her certainty fractures. Elias isn't the cold-blooded monster the tabloids claim. He is fiercely protective, deeply traumatized, and dangerously alluring. And the undeniable, consuming heat between them is threatening to destroy Isla's mission entirely. Then the threatening notes begin to appear. Someone else is in the house. Someone who knows who Isla really is. Someone who knows that Clara's body isn't buried on the island... because Clara isn't dead. Trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a sociopathic ghost and a criminal syndicate closing in, Isla must decide who to trust. To save the man she was sent to destroy, she will have to do the one thing she swore she wouldn't. She will have to break her silence. Vow of Silence is a masterfully plotted dark thriller romance that will keep you guessing until the final, explosive chapter. With a remote island setting, a sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance, and a twist you won't see coming, this is a must-read for fans of gothic suspense.
