A gothic mansion crumbling to ruin. A tortured, brooding artist. And a brave art restorer determined to fix all that’s broken in a house of secrets.

Elizabeth has spent her life running from the past—from visions of her mother's death, from the shadows of her orphaned childhood. But when she accepts a job restoring priceless art at Cliffhaven, a crumbling gothic mansion in the northern wilderness, she discovers some ghosts can't be outrun.

The estate is breathtaking and sinister in equal measure, with secret passageways snaking through gloomy corridors and centuries of secrets embedded in its walls. But fires that ignite on their own and whispers echoing through empty halls suggest something malevolent lurks within Cliffhaven's decaying grandeur.

Then there's Adam Arrington—the mansion's brooding, reclusive owner whose tortured past mirrors her own. Haunted by the fire that killed his parents and left him scarred inside and out, he sets her pulse racing with a single smoldering glance. But Adam has locked himself away in these lonely halls for a reason, and his fierce opposition to Elizabeth's work hints at secrets that could destroy them both.

As Elizabeth delves deeper into Cliffhaven's mysteries, she's drawn into a world where passion and peril intertwine. Something stalks the candlelit corridors, threatening not just her life, but everything she's fought to build. As winter closes in and the mansion's sinister truth finally surfaces, Elizabeth must make a choice:

Keep running—or stand and fight for the love that could either save them both or damn them forever.
