Passion and Fear Collide at Moonbridge Manor
A traditional-style gothic romance with a 21st century Sapphic twist!
When twenty-two-year-old Kendall Chandler accepts a job as nanny to a ten-year-old girl at the isolated Moonbridge Manor, she expects a quiet summer on the rocky coast of Maine—not a house filled with secrets, grief, and unsettling whispers. The estate has been scarred by tragedy: Philippa Jagger’s fiancée, Nora, died under mysterious circumstances, her father was killed in a boating accident, and her mother died years earlier. Now Kendall is beginning to wonder if Moonbridge Manor has claimed another victim.
Philippa, the manor’s enigmatic owner, is nothing like Kendall expected. Aloof and guarded, and only in her late twenties, she seems both wary of and drawn to Kendall, while the attraction between them becomes increasingly difficult to ignore. But Kendall’s growing friendship with Blake Prescott, an appealing young woman who is also an aspiring local artist, complicates matters and gives Philippa reasons for jealousy she refuses to acknowledge. As romance begins to bloom in the shadows of the old house, Kendall finds herself caught between two women while struggling to decide which one she should trust.
Then the strange incidents begin. Someone, or something, seems determined to frighten Kendall away from Moonbridge Manor, and soon she fears the danger has become deadly. With secrets buried in the manor’s past and suspicion falling on Philippa and her sisters, Kendall must uncover the truth before she becomes the next tragedy in Moonbridge’s dark history.
In a house where everyone has something to hide, falling in love may be the most dangerous secret of all.
