We all have our secrets... _____________________

An eerie old Scottish manor in the middle of nowhere that's now hers.

With the past threatening to swallow her whole, she can't escape the claustrophobic feeling that the house itself is watching her, or ignore how animals take care never to set foot within its garden.

And when Ailsa confronts the first night-time intruder, she sees that the manor's careless rugged beauty could cost her everything...
