Ever since the hitmans daughter, Mave Michael Francis learned she is the owner of a crumbling grand hotel, life has been upside-down.

Meanwhile, the hotel director is running ghost tours to drum up desperately-needed revenue, and Maves staff is scrambling to host an over-the-top goth wedding. Mave needs to ensure the event is a success to rescue the hotel from bankruptcy. But when she discovers the mask of the Château du Ciels rumored ghost in the defunct greenhouse where the wedding ceremony is booked, her priorities fracture.

As she plans for the big wedding by day, Mave secretly digs into Holdens true identity and disappearance by night. Her search takes her to the most sinister place: the darknet. And instead of answers to decode Holdens whereabouts, she attracts a stranger online who also wants Holden Frost foundand who will kill Maves father in prison unless Mave delivers Holdens location, dead or alive.
