When Serena Hawthorne moves to the quiet town of Westwood, she's seeking a fresh start-an escape from a past that haunts her. But the peaceful streets and ancient cottages hold secrets of their own, secrets that awaken as Serena steps into her new life. Between the art that surrounds her and the whispers of an old fireplace, Serena finds herself drawn into a world where magic lingers in the shadows, and nothing is as it seems. In this town, some stories are meant to be discovered, and some doors are waiting to be opened.

And then there's Raen, her enigmatic and dangerously captivating supervisor-a man who seems to know more than he lets on.
