About the book
HARROW 'Lush, sinister and darkly romantic' - ALEXIS HENDERSON She will have her own home, no matter the cost, no matter the warnings The hacienda San Isidro was meant to be Beatriz's haven from an oppressive life with her uncle and his vicious wife. When Don Rodolfo Solórzano proposed, Beatriz dreamed only of the security his estate in the countryside would provide, ignoring the rumors surrounding his first wife's demise. She will have her own home again, no matter the price. But the house has ideas of its own. Visions and voices claw at Beatriz, stealing her sleep, and invisible eyes follow her every move. Beatriz knows: something is wrong with San Isidro. Desperate for help, she turns to the young priest, Padre Andrés. But as their passions rise and the walls close in around Beatriz, the weight of secrets everyone is carrying may lead them all to their doom.
