Instead, it becomes the beginning of something she can't explain.
Blackwood Estate sits along the Potomac like a relic from another century—beautiful, imposing, and carrying far too many secrets beneath its ivy-covered walls. What was supposed to be a temporary step into a world of old money, powerful families, and carefully guarded reputations quickly becomes something far more complicated.
There are people at Blackwood who have spent years protecting what belongs to them. People who know how to manipulate a room without raising their voices, who understand the value of a secret, and who have every reason to be suspicious of an outsider.
Then there is the pull she can't seem to resist.
Between stolen glances, buried histories, dangerous chemistry, and truths that refuse to stay hidden, the lines between attraction and obsession begin to blur. The closer she gets to the people—and secrets—at the heart of Blackwood, the harder it becomes to tell who she can trust.
Because some connections don't feel like choices.
They feel like gravity.
And once you're caught in their orbit, escaping may cost far more than you're willing to lose.
