Genres: Historical Fiction, Paranormal Women's Fiction, Thriller, Womens Fiction
1806: Astrid Poole sits in her bridal clothes, overwhelmed with happiness. But before her marriage can be consummated, she is murdered, and the circle of gold torn from her finger. Her last words are a promise to Collin never to leave him…
Graphic designer Sonya MacTavish is stunned to learn that her late father had a twin he never knew about―and that her newly discovered uncle, Collin Poole, has left her almost everything he owned, including a majestic Victorian house on the Maine coast, which the will stipulates she must live in it for at least three years. Her engagement recently broken, she sets off to find out why the boys were separated at birth―and why it was all kept secret until a genealogy website brought it to light.
Trey, the young lawyer who greets her at the sprawling clifftop manor, notes Sonya’s unease―and acknowledges that yes, the place is haunted…but just a little. Sure enough, Sonya finds objects moved and music playing out of nowhere. She sees a painting by her father inexplicably hanging in her deceased uncle’s office, and a portrait of a woman named Astrid, whom the lawyer refers to as “the first lost bride.” It’s becoming clear that Sonya has inherited far more than a house. She has inherited a centuries-old curse, and a puzzle to be solved if there is any hope of breaking it…

Sonya MacTavish is preparing for the grand wedding her fiancé, Brandon, wants—though it’s the opposite of her dream for something small and intimate. Constantly giving in to his desires, from a modern house to wedding plans, Sonya’s breaking point comes when she finds him cheating with her cousin. She calls off the wedding, leaves her job at their shared graphic design firm, and goes freelance. Soon after, Sonya learns from lawyer Oliver Doyle II that her late father had a twin brother, Collin Poole, who passed away and left his Maine estate to Sonya.
But there’s a catch: she must live in the manor for three years to inherit it. When she moves to the seaside property, Sonya falls in love with the house, but strange hauntings and the legend of the “lost brides” begin to surface. With the help of Trey Doyle, she uncovers the family curse: “Find the seven rings. Break the curse.” Blending family history, romance, and a Gothic tale of ghosts and mysteries, Nora Roberts weaves a captivating story of inheritance, friendship, and the supernatural, leaving readers eager for the next chapter in Sonya’s journey.
