When she steps into the marble halls of the Winchester estate, the new housekeeper believes she’s been given a final chance to rebuild her life. Nina Winchester greets her with a flawless smile and an elegant handshake, welcoming her into a world of wealth, order, and impeccable beauty. Here, she can be anyone she chooses. Here, she hopes her past can finally stay buried.
Each day is a ritual of perfection: cleaning the luxurious home from top to bottom, collecting the Winchesters’ young daughter from school, and preparing exquisite meals she’ll never share with the family—eating instead alone in her tiny attic room. A room whose door, she later discovers, locks only from the outside.
One moment of temptation—slipping into one of Nina’s pristine white dresses—sets off a chain of consequences she could never have predicted. The Winchesters’ picture-perfect world begins to fracture, revealing secrets far darker and more dangerous than anything she imagined.
But even as the walls close in, she clings to one truth: the Winchesters don’t know who she really is.
And they certainly don’t know what she’s capable of.
A relentlessly twisty, addictive psychological thriller that will keep readers up late into the night, ideal for fans of The Woman in the Window, The Wife Between Us, and The Girl on the Train.
