Ava Cassidy doesn’t go backwards.

She doesn’t repeat mistakes.

And she doesn’t return to men who almost ruin her.

So when the key arrives, she ignores it.

Until she doesn’t.

Because Brett Manning is impossible to walk away from.

Ava thinks she’s going back on her terms.

No lies.

No control.

No games.

That’s her first mistake.

The house is exactly as she remembers.

The doors still lock.

The signal still dies.

But Brett… isn’t the same.

The housekeeper watches her like she already knows how this ends.

Ava realizes that nothing in that house is what it seems.

And Brett Manning is hiding more than one secret.

She came back for answers.

Now she knows too much.
