She came to Ravencourt seeking work. She found a house that knew her name.
Sybil Alderton arrives at the windswept Ravencourt Manor to catalogue its fading legacy-but nothing in the house behaves as it should. The corridors breathe. The mirrors lie. And the Duke who rules the estate wears secrets like skin.
But when Sybil hears her name spoken in the dark, when a masked man enters her room and leaves no trace, she realizes her role at Ravencourt is not to record its history...
It is to reclaim it.
In a house where love is twisted with inheritance, and desire whispers through walls, The Midnight Heir is a gothic, erotic suspense novel of buried identities, forbidden seduction, and the terrifying power of memory.
