35 parts Complete MatureIn the town where reputation is everything, the truth is the most dangerous thing of all.
Windmere is a coastal jewel-where fortunes are old, homes are older, and secrets are passed down like heirlooms. Caroline Whitmore has long reigned as the town's most envied woman: poised, powerful, and perfectly curated. But behind the iron gates of the Whitmore estate, her world is quietly unraveling.
After years of failed pregnancies and public pressure to produce an heir, Caroline makes a decision that defies generations of tradition. She will find someone else to carry the future of the Whitmore legacy-someone discreet, someone controlled, someone who won't threaten the delicate house of cards she's built.
But when a soft-voiced girl from nowhere enters their lives, everything begins to shift.
The girl is too pretty. Too poised. Too perfect. And as Caroline watches her husband grow more... attentive, the edges of Windmere's glamour begin to sharpen. And soon, it's not just Caroline's future at stake-but everything she's ever claimed as hers.
