Some houses keep secrets. Hers is ready to tell.
When Ellie inherits a fortune—and an antebellum mansion on Charleston's historic South Battery—she leaves behind her life in San Francisco and a painful breakup to confront the ghosts of her past.

From the moment she steps into the cavernous halls of her ancestral home, Ellie senses she's not alone. The house stirs with memories and whispers from the past, and the presence of her long-deceased mother lingers in every room. When she discovers a hidden leather-bound journal on a dusty bookshelf, Ellie is plunged into a maze of haunting revelations that demand answers.

As Hurricane Lorene barrels toward the coast, Ellie finds herself drawn to Julian Hagood, a charming architect with a talent for restoration—and healing. But the deeper she digs into her mother's diaries, the more the past threatens to consume her.
