Vivian is trapped in a ruthless engagement—until the man from her most intimate dreams walks into real life. Holland Shaw is magnetic, impossible, and somehow connected to the castle secrets her mother took to the grave. As roses appear out of nowhere, messages cross the line between sleep and waking, and an old photo hints that the past has been hiding something monstrous, Vivian is pulled into a feverish spiral of forbidden attraction, family betrayal, and escalating danger. The closer she gets to Holland, the more the trap tightens: hired violence, blood-bound curses, jealous obsession, and a conspiracy far bigger than either of them imagined.
