Summary:
"In this empowering Black queer romance reimagining of Charlotte Bronté's classic novel, Jane Eyre, the new governess at Thornfield Hall discovers her cruel employer has locked away his wife as revenge for withholding her inheritance and, as his dark plan unfolds, must find a way to save this woman she's come to love"--From publisher.
Jane Eyre has no interest in a husband. Eager to make her own way in the world, she accepts the governess position at Thornfield Hall. Though her new employer, Edward
Rochester
, has a charming air -- not to mention a handsome face -- Jane discovers that his smile can sharpen in an instant, Plagued by Edward's mercurial mood and the strange wails that echo through the corridors, Jane grows suspicious of the secrets hidden within Thornfield Hall -- unaware of the true horrors lurking above her very head. On the topmost floor, Bertha Mason is trapped in more ways than one. After her whirlwind marriage to Edward turned into a nightmare, he locked her away as revenge for withholding her inheritance. How his patience grows thin in the face of Bertha's resilience and Jane's persistent questions, and both young women are in more danger than they realize. When their only chance at safety -- and perhaps somethig more -- is in each other's arms, can they find and keep one another safe before Edward's dark machinations close in around them.
