Serena Harper thought she’d left her small-town roots—and all the baggage they carried—far behind. As a forensic anthropologist, her job is to piece together the truth hidden in bones, not get tangled up in secrets better left untouched. But when a body turns up in the ruins of an infamous estate with ties to a decades-old disappearance, Serena is dragged back into a world she’d rather forget.
Enter Damien Holt: investigative journalist, professional pain in her ass, and the last person she wants digging through her closet of skeletons. Damien’s been chasing this cold case for years, and now that the trail’s finally heating up, he’s not about to back down—especially not when Serena’s icy walls are so fun to break through.
Their search for answers leads them into a labyrinth of betrayals, buried scandals, and unsettling suspects, where everyone has something to hide and no one can be trusted. As the body count rises, so does the tension between Serena and Damien—until sparks start flying faster than accusations.
But when the killer sets their sights on the two of them, Serena and Damien must decide how much they’re willing to risk—not just for the truth, but for each other.
