Lilies, Diamonds, and Frost-Kissed Midnights

They tried to break her body. They couldn’t break her heart.

After escaping the school that stole her freedom, Alatheia Winder finds refuge in a hidden Louisiana estate where the Lent family’s legacy began. There, surrounded by mist and memory, she learns that healing can be as terrifying as the pain that came before—and that love can hurt just as deeply.
But grief has a long reach. As loss shadows the family and buried truths rise to the surface, Alatheia must follow the past home and face the reckoning that waits for her. In a house haunted by devotion and desire, even love can become a dangerous confession.
A frozen season. A burning love. And the girl who refuses to fade.
