Chapter One

“We’re here, Miss Miranda.”

Miranda Raennia rolled down the tinted windows of the limousine and studied the

beach house. The two-story house, settled into the rolling hills near Pismo Beach, looked over

a secluded beach along the Californian coastline along with a dusting of other homes of similar

size, shape and color. Weathered by years of assault from rain, sun and winds, the gray wood

of the exterior blended into the night. Upon closer examination, however, this house held one

vital difference from that of its neighbors. Black blinds covered every window as if a state of

perpetual mourning enveloped the home and its occupants. A mist cloaked the house and its

surroundings in a billowy cloud, but Miranda could still see brief glimpses of light escaping

around the sides of the shades.

Miranda gave her driver, Charlie, a thumbs-up and he switched off the motor. She

scooted to the edge of her seat like a child anxious to join her friends on the playground, and

studied the house one more time. Without questioning her life-long caregiver, Jerome

Pickering, for details, Miranda knew she’d found the right house. And, if her research was

correct, the right man.

Gathering her thick red hair behind her, she twisted a scrunchy around the mass of

waves to keep the curls off her face. She opened the car door and swung her legs to the

ground. Jerome, the only soul she would allow to second-guess her actions, questioned her,

his British accent growing more precise with his distress.

“Are you quite certain, Miss Miranda? Do you consider this a wise idea? I can’t help

but wonder what your parents would think.”
