About this book

When Cilla McGowan returns to her grandmother's crumbling farmhouse in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley to restore it, she's hoping to finally escape the shadow of her legendary actress grandmother—who died under mysterious circumstances decades ago. Between the endless renovation projects and her unavoidable attraction to her charming neighbor Ford, a graphic novelist with an irresistible quirky streak, Cilla's already juggling more than enough. But when she discovers a cache of cryptic letters hidden in the attic, she uncovers dangerous secrets from her grandmother's past that someone desperately wants to keep buried—and they're willing to silence Cilla to do it. As the danger escalates, she'll need to figure out who's targeting her while navigating her growing feelings for Ford, all while uncovering the truth that could either free her from her family's tragic legacy or repeat it.
