Money can buy silence, but it can't bury the truth forever.
It's Los Angeles, 1922, where
Rosa Murphy
, a skilled nurse with a stubborn streak and a mixed heritage, accepts a temporary post at the mysterious Blackwell Crest estate to care for its ailing matriarch, Estelle Doherty. She expects long days of quiet duty. Instead, she finds herself in the middle of a family legacy steeped in corruption, betrayal, and dangerous secrets.
David Doherty
-handsome, volatile, and heir to the Crudelot Oil fortune-has spent years squandering his life in parties and scandal. Now, with his health restored and his family's empire on the brink of ruin, he's determined to wrest control from his ruthless uncle and reclaim both the company and his future.
Drawn into David's battle for power, Rosa uncovers the long-buried truth about his real mother, the scandals hidden in the family's past, and the enemies willing to destroy them both. The closer she gets to the heart of Blackwell Crest, the more she must decide: is she willing to risk her own future-and her heart-for a man still learning how to fight for his?
Set against the opulence and grit of 1920s California,
The Secrets of Blackwell Crest is
a sweeping story of love, redemption, and the price of uncovering the truth. Perfect for readers of historical romance who crave family intrigue, emotional depth, and a slow-burn love story with a satisfying end.
