In the tradition of Brenda Novak and Karen Rose, the latest novel in Lisa Childs' fast-paced romantic suspense series is laden with Gothic atmosphere and brilliantly plotted twists and turns, as an exclusive resort set on a remote island off the coast of Maine becomes the setting for grisly crimes. Drawn to the former Bainesworth Manor in the wake of a murder, reporter Edie Stone wants answers. It's been over forty years since the psychiatric hospital on Bane Island shut down, and the mystery of women vanishing there remains unsolved. But the exclusive retreat isn't just protected by the dark pine forests and crashing waves of Maine's rocky coast-it's surrounded with silence. Everyone on the island is keeping secrets. Especially the Dr. Elijah Cooke, grandson of the man who headed Bainesworth Manor and the psychiatrist-proprietor of a new wellness resort on the same premises. His desire to help people seems at war with his fierce loyalty to his family. He's sure the world is out to get him. And as the accidents and coincidences pile up, Edie becomes convinced someone is trying to kill them both. But if she's close enough to be a threat, she must be close to the truth...
