Emma Penny was the last to see her sister, Clara, alive. Before vanishing, the last words Clara said were if something awful happened to her, it was no accident. The Duke of Britonne has been linked to several missing women; all of them last seen at his secluded estate, Cortherstone. Emma knows the duke killed her sister and has hated the man since she received the letter of Clara's accident. So when she receives an invitation to Cortherstone, from the duke himself, she is shocked her family forces her to go. How could she go to the very house where her sister died? And does the duke have the same plans for her? Escape attempts, battle of wills, and a declaration of war are not enough to keep Emma safe from Cortherstone. As the days pass, Emma wonders if the duke really is the man everyone says he is. Some days he is kind and thoughtful, and others he is cold and distant. But one thing she does know is there really is a monster haunting Cortherstone. And the moment she entered, she became their next victim.
