Wren Ashford has not spoken since she was eleven, the night her mother died off the family’s private island. Nine years later, everyone in Bellhaven still calls her the mute heiress—while her stepmother Delphine controls every breath she takes. Then Senator Julian Voss brings home a new wife. Poppy Voss takes Wren’s hand in the garden and whispers that she knows exactly what happened on that boat. She has a recording, a witness, and a proposal: help her destroy Delphine, and Wren will get her voice back. But Poppy wants something Wren can’t give her, and the only person Wren has ever wanted to protect is the one she’s been lying to since she was eleven. Some silences are survival. Some are a trap. And the truth is about to speak.
