A delicious twist on a Gothic classic, this novel pairs Southern charm with atmospheric domestic suspense, appealing to fans of B.A. Paris and Megan Miranda. Meet Jane, a broke dog-walker in Birmingham, Alabama, navigating the gated community of Thornfield Estates, filled with McMansions and bored housewives. Here, no one questions her identity or notices when she discreetly lifts discarded items from her wealthy clients. Jane's luck changes when she encounters Eddie Rochester, the enigmatic widower of Bea, whose tragic drowning accident left a haunting legend. Drawn to Eddie's wealth and allure, Jane sees an opportunity for the protection she craves. However, as their romance blossoms, Jane becomes increasingly haunted by Bea's legacy—a stunning beauty who built a successful lifestyle brand from humble beginnings. Can plain Jane ever compete with Bea's memory? As Jane strives to win Eddie's heart, she must confront the shadows of her past and the mysteries surrounding his. With gripping suspense, sharp wit, and a fresh feminist perspective, this reimagining of a twisted love triangle explores themes of forbidden romance and the struggle for identity. Which Mrs. Rochester will ultimately find her happy ending?
