Gilded vines

What could make the lush, golden decor of this private residence even more stunning? Sophie, its devoted governess, has one answer: blood-and revenge.

After years of rescuing desperate women from the streets, offering them jobs, shelter, and a future, Sophie can't stomach hearing one more of them announce they've found 'something better.'

Apparently, being a maid isn't enough for them. Well, let's see if they prefer being dead.

But when a nosy tenant and a charming lawyer neighbor begin to hop into her life, cracks start to form in her neat, impeccable world. Torn between the bitterness of betrayal and the fragile promise of hope, will Sophie rebuild herself-or give in to the dark allure of revenge?
