Vicar Andrews is avoiding his brother's funeral by hiding upstairs in the family house, rifling through the boxes that will inevitably go to an estate sale, when he discovers a journal far too old to be his brother's. Possessed by curiosity and eagre for the distraction from the guests he's supposed to console, Vicar finds himself lost in the world of the journal's owner, Winn Peterson - a resident at his very house one hundred years ago. As he loses himself in her increasingly disturbing recollection of events within the house, the similarities between their situations grow to an incoincidental degree. The sudden appearance of the doctor in both Winn's life and his late brother's, as well as the rapid decline of their respective states of health, prove a worrying trend in the dark history of the Andrews Estate. Battling the traumatic memories of his own turbulent past, Vicar begins to suspect that the connection between his brother's death and the unfortunate fate of Winn Peterson are tied together by something far more sinister than a suspicious doctor. . . .

Blackmail, revenge, survival. That was nowhere near what Evelyn Turner expected when she took the case. To become a lawyer was Evelyn's dream but not so much since no one believes she has the prowess. So, when Levi Coleman asks her to vie for his innocence, she could hardly refuse this chance to prove herself, all the while repaying her unspoken debt. However, as she digs further into the case, she realizes it might not be that simple. There is someone controlling things behind the scenes - someone she knows. The arson isn't merely a crime, it's an attack on her welfare. With her past on one side and the prosecutor on the other, she has nowhere to go but forward. There is no black or white here, only gray. Word Count: 70,929
