Sheโs too prim
Lilah Holcutt dislikes Constantine Moreland from the moment she meets him. He may be handsome, but heโs frivolous, rash, impulsive and, worst of all, a flirt. Now that Conโs twin brother has married Lilahโs best friend, sheโs seeing way more of Con than sheโd like. And when Conโs sisters are inexplicably kidnapped, Lilahโs own curiosity and stubbornness get the better of her, and she finds herself swept into Conโs investigation.
Heโs indifferent to propriety
Con knows that Lilah hates himโhe just wishes she werenโt so devastatingly beautiful, that he werenโt so attracted to her. Especially since theyโre working closely together to solve the kidnapping, an adventure that leads them to Lilahโs peculiar childhood home, Barrow House, which sits atop an ancient fen and features an eerie maze on its grounds.
Theyโll have to join together to conquer a sinister force
The more Con and Lilah uncover, the more theyโre convinced that the answers lie buried deep within Barrow Houseโanswers to a mystery darker than either of them could ever have realized.
