I’m back in Eastport Bay for the first time in five years—and not thrilled to be here. There’s a reason I’ve stayed away so long. The place lost its magic for me long ago—the night the only girl I’ve ever loved proved beyond a shadow of a doubt she didn’t feel the same. But this trip is nonnegotiable. I’m planning to fly in, attend the ridiculous ball, then get back to Europe as quickly as possible. That is until I arrive at the family estate early and catch the cleaning crew still at work. And get a look at the woman beneath that coating of dust, ash, and spiderwebs.

It should be a dream assignment—leave my boring day-to-day routine and travel to a seaside mansion to interview superstar author Jack R. R. Bestia. Who wouldn’t want that? Me, that’s who. He has a reputation for being reclusive and temperamental, but that’s not why I’m leery of the assignment. It’s because the first (and last) time I met Jack…well, let’s just say I didn’t make a good impression. When I get to the mansion, things don’t go much better. The only way I manage to squeak in is by signing a massive nondisclosure agreement. And I soon figure out why.
