A brooding journalist and a curious novelist confront the shadows of yesteryear.
Sage Collins, a bestselling author who has settled in Whispering Falls for a quieter life, finds her focus shattered when Gabriel Cross moves across the street into the Morgan estate, an imposing mansion with a tarnished reputation.
Gabriel, a former investigative journalist with secrets of his own, intends to restore the estate. He is unaware of its dark history, which is shrouded in murder, intrigue, and whispered tales of hidden treasures.
Determined to uncover the mansion's secrets—and hopefully find inspiration—Sage persuades Gabe to grant her access. Together, they discover a forgotten diary in the attic that helps to unravel a web of mysteries that intertwine with their own lives.
