SECRETS LIKE OURS

A gripping new novel of suspense about a woman drawn into a world of wealth and privilege like she's never dreamed, but comes to realize that the family behind it all is hiding terrifying secrets...

Some families bury more than the past.

Emily grew up in a broken home and did everything she could to leave the chaos behind. She built something steady. Something quiet. Then she caught the attention of Daniel Winthrop, heir to one of New England's most powerful dynasties.

He swept Emily off her feet, married her, and gave her a mansion on the cliffs.

But the secrets that could bury her came with it.

Do not wander at night.

Do not ask about the west wing.

Do not open the door to the basement.

What should have been a new beginning quickly became a new nightmare.

Emily wanted a fresh start. What she found was a family legacy soaked in dark secrets.

But Emily learned long ago how to survive storms. Whatever the Winthrops are hiding, she will drag it into the light.

Including the cruelest secret of all: why Daniel married her in the first place.
