"In this house, the greatest sin isn't a lie. It's the truth."
Holloway Manor is a monument to old money and even older secrets. At its helm stands Judas Holloway-a man as cold as the marble floors of his estate and twice as hard to read. He is the guardian of the family's immaculate reputation, a patriarch who rules with silence and shadows.
When Valerie Scott arrives to take a position as governess for the Holloway twins, she expects a quiet sanctuary for herself and her sister. Instead, she finds a velvet prison. To Judas, Valerie is an outsider who dares to look too closely at the cracks in his perfect world. To Valerie, Judas is a tyrant hiding behind a designer suit and a legacy of blood.
Their relationship is a battlefield of wills, a dangerous game played in the quiet corridors and locked rooms of the Manor. But as Valerie begins to peel back the layers of the Holloway history, she realizes the rot goes deeper than she ever imagined.
Under the weight of a darkening legacy, two survivors must decide if they are enemies-or the only two people capable of enduring what is hidden in the archives.
Some secrets are meant to stay buried. Others are meant to be burned.
