Grieving and shocked that her reserved mother kept this secret, Olivia leaves San Francisco to investigate the mystery. At Rosemere Priory, Olivia recognizes the manor from her mother's paintings. The estate is magnificent despite its disrepair, but Olivia cannot understand why her mother never told her about it. As she explores her mother's past, she finds that beneath the peeling wallpaper, debris, and vine-covered Elizabethan windows lie hidden secrets.

Before determining what Rosemere and her own future will hold, she must first uncover the secrets of her past.
