Old friends… or new enemies?

Sydony Marchant is suspicious of the maze behind her new home, a manor house with a sinister history. She’s even more suspicious of former neighbor Bartholomew Hawthorne, and when he arrives on her doorstep, she doesn’t know whether to run to him—or away from him.

Viscount Hawthorne hasn’t traveled to Oakfield to gawk at a garden maze, no matter how eerie it is. He’s there to solve a mystery of his own, and he won’t be distracted by lovely Sydony Marchant—even though she might be his one weakness.

But Sydony and Samhain may change his mind.
