House of Secrets and Shadow

By: Emma Jackson

Disguised as a man, Jamie has infiltrated a gang of highwaymen, her every move bringing her one step closer to the vengeance she’s sworn against their brutal ringleader. Until the latest plan to use the abandoned Edburton Manor as a safehouse runs up against a problem. Despite the ghost stories the locals tell, it isn’t empty… It seems their new hostage, Matthew, has been living there alone; no form of company save the sinister presence in the woods. Who he really is, and why he hasn’t left, shouldn’t matter to Jamie but something about Matthew is tempting her to make dangerous mistakes. Not least the way he looks at her as though he can see every truth she’s spent so many years burying. Perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince and One Dark Window.
