Some houses keep secrets.
Black Rose Manor remembers them.
When Mara Vale unexpectedly inherits a beautiful, isolated manor from a man she has never met, she expects nothing more than an old estate and a complicated family history. Instead, she finds seven portraits of women who disappeared one after another-and a house filled with locked doors, hidden passages, whispered warnings, and black roses that bloom when they should be dead.
Then Mara discovers something impossible.
A portrait of the seventh bride bears a chilling message:
SHE WILL DIE FOR YOU.
Someone wants Mara afraid. Someone wants her searching. And someone inside the manor knows far more about her family than they are willing to admit.
As Mara digs deeper into the mystery, she is drawn toward Lucian Vale, a man whose guarded eyes hide secrets of his own. He warns her to stay away from the western wing. He refuses to explain why. And the more Mara discovers, the harder it becomes to decide whether Lucian is the one person she can trust-or the person she should fear most.
Because the legend of Black Rose Manor was never just a ghost story.
Behind the curse lies a history of disappearances, murder, betrayal, and a deception carefully protected for generations.
And now Mara has inherited it all.
As the past begins bleeding into the present, Mara must uncover the truth before the house claims another bride.
Because some secrets are buried.
Some secrets are murdered.
And some secrets...
remember.
