A portrait at the heart of a Gothic mystery

Selah Whitlock’s interest in the unexplained becomes personal when a centuries-old portrait appears bearing her likeness. The discovery links her to the Vandenberg estate, already associated with Foggy Hollow’s infamous cold case, and draws her into a secret stretching across generations. With the town’s bicentennial approaching, the story brings together family history, an unresolved mystery, and an unsettling autumn setting. Selah’s connections with the Vandenberg cousins—Jude, the heir marked by a tragic past, and Rafe, whose charm comes with danger—add another layer to the secrets gathering around the estate.

Book overview

Ever since her mother vanished, Selah Whitlock has been drawn to the unexplained. So it feels almost fated to live in Foggy Hollow, a place where mystery abounds. Even more so when her father accepts a job at the Vandenberg estate, the epicenter of the town's most infamous cold case.

 

Moving into the estate's carriage house pulls Selah into the orbit of the Vandenberg cousins: Jude, the brooding heir with a tragic past, and Rafe, effortlessly charming and undeniably dangerous.

 

Then a centuries-old portrait surfaces bearing Selah's exact likeness. Suddenly, she isn't just chasing a mystery. She's caught in the heart of one. As the town prepares to celebrate its bicentennial, Selah and Jude are pulled into a secret that spans generations. Something sinister is stirring beneath the golden leaves and carved pumpkins. And the deeper they fall, the deadlier the consequences.
