The House on Morgan Street is full of deception and secrets, well hidden beneath the family myths that protect it. After one-hundred years of occupancy by the wealthy Abbott family and the servants who have lived alongside them, the mansion has seen many people come and go, but it's what they have left behind that refuses to remain buried. The death of the matriarch and the arrival of Lydia, her estranged daughter, creates a firestorm of unexpected events and brings an unknown villain to the forefront. With the impending demolition of the mansion, there is a scramble for hidden wealth and efforts to keep long concealed, generational secrets in their place, The protagonist, Natalie, descended from a family of Abbott servants, has created a small, safe world for herself, but Lydia, the last living member of the Abbott family, has a secret that will force Natalie into a dangerous new world of deception and murder. In the midst of a perilous situation and a complicated investigation, an unlikely romance ignites between Natalie and James, the police chief.
