When Bellamy McGuire is offered a
summer job babysitting for the wealthy Baldwin family, she’s reluctant to
accept. After all, everyone in town knows about the mysterious happenings at
the mansion on the hill—including the sudden disappearance of the Baldwin’s
eldest son, Tate. The former football star and Golden Boy of Wellhollow Springs
became a hermit at the age of sixteen, and no one has seen or heard from him since.
Rumors abound as to why, with whisperings about a strange illness that has
caused deformity…turned him into a real-life monster. Bellamy wants to dismiss
these rumors as gossip, but when she’s told that if she takes the job she must
promise to never, ever visit the 3rd floor of the mansion, she begins to wonder
if there really is some dark truth being hidden there.
Tate’s condition may not be the
only secret being kept at Baldwin House. There are gaps in the family’s
financial history that don’t add up, and surprising connections with
unscrupulous characters. At night there are strange noises, unexplained cold
drafts, and the electricity cuts out. And then there are the rose petals on the
staircase. The rose petals that no one but Bellamy seems to be able to see. The
rose petals that form a trail leading right up to the 3rd floor, past the
portrait of a handsome young man, and down a dark hallway where she promised
she would never, ever go…
As Bellamy works to unravel the
mysteries of Baldwin House and uncover the truth about Tate, she realizes that
she is in way over her head, in more ways than one. Can her bravery and
determination help to right the wrongs of the past and free the young man whose
story has captured her heart?
