The Estate of Secrets

When Sera Blake accepts a lucrative offer to work as the caretaker of a secluded estate, it seems like the answer to all her problems. No family, no attachments, no distractions—just silence, solitude, and a paycheck big enough to wipe her past clean.

But Blackthorn Estate is more prison than paradise. The halls echo with secrets, the staff speak in hushed tones, and every locked door warns her to stay away. Her employer, the enigmatic Alaric Voss, is a man as refined as he is dangerous—controlled, cold, and hiding something beneath every perfectly measured word.

As Sera digs deeper into the mansion’s past, she discovers that some doors are locked for a reason… and that the darkest secrets aren't buried in the walls—but in the man who owns them.

Because Alaric Voss is not the kind of man you fall for. He’s the kind you survive.

And some contracts can’t be broken—not without blood.
