Perfect for you if...

  • You love dark romance where the heroine's moral compass gets tested by genuine chemistry with a dangerous man
  • You're drawn to historical settings that feel claustrophobic and gothic, especially when they trap women in impossible choices
  • You've read Carlton's Cat and Mouse Duet and want more of her blend of psychological tension and forbidden attraction

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need your romantic leads to have clear moral high ground or you struggle with unreliable narrators
  • You prefer slow-burn romance over immediate, intense chemistry with a criminal love interest
  • Stalking scenarios, even romanticised ones, make you too uncomfortable to enjoy the story

About this book

Set on November 12, 1944, this novel follows a married woman living in Parsons Manor who encounters a mysterious stranger outside her window. Terrified yet drawn to him, she finds herself caught in an unexpected romance with a man who is a criminal and mobster. As their relationship develops, the stranger becomes a source of comfort against the woman's husband, whom she fears more than anyone else in the house. The story explores the tension between her marriage vows and her growing connection to this dangerous outsider, set against the backdrop of a manor that seems to hold dark secrets.
