There are rules in the Winthrop mansion. And Emily wasn’t told any of them before she married Daniel.
Don’t wander at night.
Don’t ask about the west wing.
Absolutely don’t open the door to the basement.
Daniel Winthrop is charming and caring in ways Emily didn’t know were possible. He also comes from one of New England’s most powerful families.
Marrying him was supposed to mean a fresh start. A future that finally felt safe.
It didn’t.
The Winthrops insist their rules protect the family legacy. But Emily starts to suspect they’re protecting something else. Something in the basement that has already ruined lives and isn’t finished.
Emily isn’t the kind of woman who breaks quietly. But whatever is in that basement wasn’t meant to be found. And the real reason Daniel married her was buried there too.
What Emily uncovers is dangerous. But what happens next could destroy her.
