About this book:

Discover the compelling secrets hidden within the walls of Hawthorn House in *The Midnight Heir*. When struggling journalist Cassie Davenport inherits her estranged grandmother Evelyn’s sprawling Victorian mansion in the atmospheric coastal town of Mariner’s Haven, she expects a gloomy, dusty estate. Instead, she finds herself drawn into a generations-old mystery of stolen fortunes, silenced histories, and a chilling cold case disappearance that has haunted the town for decades. Evelyn Davenport, the reclusive matriarch, left behind a complex web of clues—coded diaries, cryptic maps, and a hidden past far more dangerous than Cassie could have imagined.

As Cassie delves deeper into Evelyn’s enigmatic legacy, she uncovers a fierce rivalry between the Davenport family and the powerful, ruthless Blackwood dynasty, whose empire was built on a foundation of deceit. Assisted by unlikely allies, including the enigmatic descendants of the town’s lighthouse keepers, Cassie follows Evelyn’s intricate breadcrumbs through forgotten tunnels, treacherous sea caves, and the very heart of Mariner’s Haven’s closely guarded secrets. But as the truth begins to surface, the present-day Blackwood patriarch, Arthur Blackwood, emerges from the shadows, determined to keep the past buried, and Cassie becomes the target of his escalating intimidation and threats.
