Some families bury more than the past.

Emily grew up in the shadows of a broken home and fought hard to escape the chaos she would rather forget. She built something steady, something quiet. Then she caught the attention of Daniel Winthrop, heir to one of New England’s most powerful dynasties.

He swept Emily off her feet, married her, and gave her a mansion on the cliffs. 

The secrets that could bury her came with it.

Do not wander at night. 

Do not ask about the west wing.

Do not open the door beneath the stairs.

What should have been a new beginning quickly became a new nightmare.

Emily wanted a fresh start. What she found was a family legacy soaked in dark secrets. 

But Emily learned long ago how to live through storms. Whatever the Winthrops are hiding, she will drag it into the light. Including the cruelest secret of all: why Daniel married her in the first place.

Secrets Like Ours is inspired by the Brothers Grimm tale “Murder Castle,” a domestic thriller published before their children’s stories. Perfect for readers of Freida McFadden, Lisa Jewell, and Riley Sager.
