Series description: Cara Whitlock has never met her great-aunt. She's about to inherit everything she owned. Ninety days at Blackmere, an isolated Northumberland estate, and a fortune that changes everything — that's the condition in her great-aunt's will. Cara signs before she's finished reading it. She has no idea what she's agreed to. What she finds is a house with its own law. A ledger that counts every day she owes. A housekeeper who enters infractions before breakfast. A dress code that leaves nothing to guesswork. And an exit clause — one word, any hour, no penalty — that she refuses to use, because giving in has never once been in her nature. As the summer turns and the estate's other claimants begin to circle, Cara discovers that surviving Blackmere was never really the test. Understanding why it exists — and what her great-aunt actually wanted from her — is the part nobody warned her about.
