Publisher Description

In the lush, rolling hills of the Cotswolds, governess Mary Wilcox finds her latest charge: the Carlton family. With wealth and elegance that could rival royalty, the Carltons are the epitome of modern aristocracy.  

 

But beneath their polished exterior lies a tangle of silent grudges and family secrets. 

 

And one of them may lead to murder. 

 

Someone in this household harbors a sinister story, cloaked in aristocratic civility—a story that could turn her into the confidant of a troubled soul--or the next unsuspecting victim. 

 

As Mary digs deeper, she encounters inexplicable occurrences that mirror her own sister's disappearance, causing her to question if she's uncovering truths--or falling prey to her own haunted psyche. 

 

In a house full of masters and secrets, who can she truly trust?
