Naomi Harrington has always been the quiet sister.
The artist. The observer. The one who turns pain into beauty and keeps the worst of herself hidden behind locked studio doors.
But when another envelope from Frieda Harrington surfaces, Naomi is drawn back to the Montauk estate, where her sisters are already tangled in the fallout of their mother’s secrets. The final draft of Frieda’s memoir is no longer just a private confession. It is attracting attention the Harrington sisters cannot afford to ignore. Powerful names are circling the family, and the past Frieda tried to control is beginning to crack open piece by piece. Naomi wants no part of another Harrington storm.
She has her own secret to protect.
As winter closes in, Naomi’s art grows darker, her body grows weaker, and the people who love her begin to notice what she refuses to say. Her sisters are asking questions. Julian, the man who sees too much, is getting dangerously close. And the truth Naomi has buried may be the one secret that changes everything.
In a family built on silence, Naomi must decide how much longer she can hide before the cost becomes too high.
Because some secrets don’t just haunt the past.
They come for the living.
This is Book Three in the House of Harrington, a continuing six-book family saga. Each book delivers major emotional developments and revelations, but the larger family story builds across the series and is best read in order, beginning with Book One: Inheritance.
Genre: General Fiction
