Her entire life is a lie. And the only thing she has left is a house built on blood.

On her thirtieth birthday, Detroit librarian Hunter Marshall discovers she was adopted. Days later, a budget cut robs her of her job, and a brutal storm destroys her apartment. Homeless, jobless, and untethered from everything she thought she knew, Hunter is left with only one bizarre clue to her true identity: a surprise inheritance.

She is now the sole owner of Harbor House-a long-vacant, century-old mansion on a deserted island in northern Lake Huron, infamous for a gruesome, unsolved murder.

Desperate to rebuild her life and fulfill her dream of opening a bed-and-breakfast, Hunter retreats to the isolated island with her two best friends. But the mansion isn't empty. It's trapped in a dark, haunting past that refuses to stay buried. Unlocking its secrets requires invoking the help of Aiden Grey, a brilliant local author and paranormal investigator.

Hunter is intensely attracted to Aiden and desperately wants to trust him. What she doesn't realize is that the charismatic investigator is hiding dark, dangerous secrets of his own.

As a century-old evil awakens on the isolated island, Hunter must decide whom to trust before it's too late. Because someone-or something-in Harbor House wants to ensure the island's deadly secrets stay hidden forever.

Even if Hunter's life is put in danger.

An island estate. A century-old murder. A legacy that won't stay buried
