To Wendy Wood, the job sounded ideal. She would be living in the mansion of a legendary film star and she would be able to focus on teaching only one student. But a chilly reception by the household staff and her initial encounter with Paul, her young charge, leave her wondering if she made the right decision—and now it seems someone wants her out of the way. Wendy is sure she didn't imagine the strong hands that pushed her in the dark—the first of several terrifying incidents. Could it be the domineering head housekeeper who has so far driven every teacher away? Or perhaps the aging, reclusive actress upstairs is behind the sinister acts. Wendy hopes it's not Paul's father, Daniel Horstman. Her feelings for him have been growing stronger since the moment they met—but his wife did die tragically in what was said to be an accident. Wendy must now quickly unravel the past of the tumultuous Horstman household—before she becomes the next victim. A riveting story where nothing is what it seems, this novel takes you where fear and hope collide in surprising events.
