Description
Trapeze artist Amalie Vaughn has reinvented herself in Burning Cove, but her new life is off to a disastrous start. After spending her inheritance on a mansion with the intention of turning it into a bed-and-breakfast, she discovers that the property is said to be cursed. When her first guest is found murdered, rumors about the curse spread quickly. As Amalie navigates this treacherous situation, infamous gangster Matthias Jones becomes embroiled in her life. He's on the trail of a groundbreaking cipher machine, and he suspects that the victim stole it before his death. As their investigation unfolds, the attraction between them grows intensely. With time running out, Amalie and Matthias must decide if they can trust each other - and themselves. Will they be able to unravel the mystery behind the murder and the missing cipher machine, or will the curse of the mansion prove too powerful to overcome?
