The Devil in My Bedroom

Serena Vale needs money, not secrets. Desperate to help her family, she accepts a live-in job at Blackwood Estate, a mansion owned by Lucien Blackwood, a man who knows things he should not. The job comes with rules. Never enter the west wing. Never wander the halls after midnight. And if you hear someone calling your name from an empty room, do not answer. Serena breaks the rules on her third night. A piano begins playing behind a locked door. A woman’s voice whispers her name. Then she discovers a photograph of herself as a girl inside Blackwood Estate. The problem? Serena has never been there. At least, that is what she remembers. Lucien knows otherwise. He knows her mother. He knows about the night Serena disappeared seventeen years ago. And worst of all, he remembers things about Serena that she has no memory of ever telling him. The more Serena investigates, the stranger the truth becomes. Her mother’s disappearance is connected to Lucien’s dead father. The forbidden west wing holds evidence of her childhood. Someone has been manipulating her memories. And the mysterious voice haunting the mansion seems determined to bring her back to a promise she made as a child. But Lucien is hiding something too. He tells Serena not to trust him. She should. Instead, she finds herself dangerously drawn to the one man who may know exactly what happened to her, and may be the only person capable of protecting her. As desire collides with suspicion, Serena must decide how much of her past to uncover. What if she never escaped Blackwood Estate in the first place? And what if Lucien isn't the devil hiding in her bedroom? What if he is the only thing keeping the real one away?
