Phaedra Mercer wants to reclaim her life. Under the guise of a renowned wax painter, she is well on her way to claw herself out of the abyss her dark past has plunged her into. So when she receives an offer from the young heir of a recently deceased wealthy merchant, she knows this could be her chance to finally be free.

But not all is as it seems at Brackenhurst Hall, and the fiery devastation that has claimed the lives of all but one member of the family may not have been an accident after all. Yet despite the horrid secrets hiding among the treasures of the remote manor, Phaedra finds herself unwilling to leave.

Enthralled by the beauty around her, and captivated by the unraveling mystery, she vows to finish what she has started. But when her own feelings start to turn against her, she must decide what she is willing to lose—her heart or her freedom?
