    The Past Never Stays Dead
     
    As the anesthetic seeped into his veins, Jack Bardlow counted backward from a twisted tapestry of memories—haunting specters of love and death that clawed at his mind. Surgery promised to fix the broken pieces of his body, but the jagged shards of his past remained embedded deep in his soul.
     
    Jack's world teetered on the razor’s edge, between the fond echoes of Katie’s laughter and the grim shadow of her departure. Each recollection was a double-edged sword, slicing through the fragile hope of redemption with the same precision as the scalpel hovering above him.
     
    In the sterile chill of the operating room, Jack longed to drift back into the warmth of moments lost forever. But even amidst the haze of anesthesia, he knew one truth—visions of her couldn't mend the emptiness she left behind.

    Angel is a private chef for the Harrisons, one of the most powerful Black families on Martha’s Vineyard. Impossibly supercilious Jillian Harrison often spends the entire summer on the island, and every August the family throws a lavish garden party. This year’s guest list includes Everett Bruce, an influential Black billionaire still in mourning for Chloe, his first wife, who com­mitted suicide.  
    To Jillian’s surprise, Bruce becomes enchanted with Angel. Soon he and Angel begin a whirlwind romance that culminates in marriage, and Angel moves to Riverwild, her husband’s massive estate along the Poto­mac River.  
    Though Angel is a confident and strong woman, over time she begins to feel the enigmatic Chloe’s ghost. Not helping matters is Ida, Everett’s menacing sister who, like her brother, cannot seem to let the dead woman go, nor explain why Chloe would kill herself. The more questions Angel asks, the more vitriolic Ida grows and the more melancholic Everett becomes, reveal­ing a far less charming side of himself. Just how well does Angel know Everett?  
    The answers lie somewhere in Riverwild . . .
