Fearing that she has fallen for the man she vowed to see hanged—her brother's murderer—Rebecca embarks on a perilous quest to expose the truth. After her brother's mysterious demise, Rebecca Hunter swears to avenge his death and uncovers the identity of the man she believes responsible: Mr. Lewis Browning, known by the locals as the Midnight Devil and by Rebecca as her new guardian. Summoned to his secluded country estate to await her London season, Rebecca plans her own secret investigation amidst the darkened corridors of the enigmatic Greybourne Hall.

Repeated nightmares and Rebecca's restless feelings are further complicated by the shadow of her mother's prior descent into madness, leaving her questioning if she, too, will follow the same tragic path.

As the night unfolds, strange injuries, and further murders lead back to Mr. Browning, casting doubt on Rebecca's initial judgment. Despite her unwavering resolve, she cannot ignore the subtle tug of her heart. Has she fallen for the man she swore would pay for her brother's death? And more importantly, can she trust him with her uncertain future?
