Description
In the stark winter of 1909 Wisconsin, a wealthy businessman places an ad seeking a "reliable wife," only to be met by Catherine Land, a woman far more cunning and desperate than he anticipates. Catherine arrives with a sinister plan to ensnare and poison her new husband, securing his fortune. However, Ralph Truitt harbors his own dangerous secrets, and their isolated, snowbound existence becomes a battleground for their hidden desires and deadly intentions. This intoxicating debut novel masterfully weaves a tale of suspense, seduction, and psychological intrigue, evoking the atmospheric intensity of classic gothic romances.
