After a mysterious attack claims the lives of her parents, all Estela has left is her determination to solve the case. Suffering from survivor's guilt so intense that she might be losing her grip on reality, she accepts an invitation to live overseas with an estranged aunt at their ancestral Spanish castle, la Sombra.

Beneath its gothic façade, la Sombra harbors a trove of family secrets, and Estela begins to suspect her parents' deaths may be linked to their past.

They grudgingly team up to find answers and as their investigation ignites, so does a romance, mistrust twined with every caress.

The deeper she ventures into la Sombra's secrets, the more certain she becomes that the suspect she's chasing has already found her . . . and they're closer than she ever realized.
