Some voices never fade. They wait for the perfect moment to rise again. And when they do…someone is going to die.
After a much‑needed vacation, Maiden returns to snowy Michigan, where freak storms and bitter winds are the least of her worries. Determined to distract herself from her growing troubles, she throws her energy into restoring her family’s crumbling estate, the infamous Riley Manor—a house steeped in tragedy, whispered legends, and a string of unsolved murders.
The manor terrifies her. Its walls hold secrets, its rooms echo with stories no one wants to remember, and its last mistress vanished without a trace. But the future of Maiden’s family depends on the renovation, and she refuses to believe the danger she senses is anything more than nerves.
She’s wrong.
When a ruthless enemy from her past reappears, Maiden is pulled into a deadly game of cat and mouse. With only her wits, her instincts, and the steadfast loyalty of Sully to rely on, she must unravel the manor’s darkest mysteries before history repeats itself. And just when she thinks things can’t get more complicated, her ex‑boyfriend David shows up, stirring old feelings and new suspicions**.**
Perfect for fans of dark cozy mysteries, gothic suspense, and slow‑burn romantic tension, this atmospheric tale delivers stormy nights, chilling secrets, and a heroine who refuses to back down. The truth about Riley Manor is about to explode—and Maiden will need every ounce of courage to survive it.
