An infamous French mansion. A garden tended with malice. A filthy empire-and a mute maid with mismatched beliefs and an attraction to rancid scents stood in front of them all.
Maison de Néronville makes luxurious perfumes worth gems and cradles deeds that could render their sophisticated scents putrid. Notable for their lush gardens, spotless legacy through philanthropy, and acute noses, they are French Riviera's finest- and dirtiest.
Marguerite I. Alméras (Mia) helps to wash their dirty laundry in private. A talented soul with a disability who left her village in southeastern France to find a place where she could bloom- ironically, she found gardens, ones whose flowers smelled like decayed flesh.
Getting hired at the mansion's fragrant house was as effortless as slipping on her mismatched flats. Navigating her term under the glass domes? That's another case-especially with a blind patriarch, a depressed heir, a bloodthirsty daughter, and hah...the notorious twins all spilling their nastiest acts to her, because:
Mia sees, Mia hears, Mia feels, and Mia knows.
But one thing Mia can't do...is tell.
