The Van Doren family is known for two things, fabulous wealth and secrecy. When Christina Manning is given the opportunity to interview the reclusive heir apparent to the Van Doren fortune, she is at once astonished at her good fortune… and slightly overcome with unease. As she finds herself being buzzed in through the massive wrought iron gates of the family’s estate, she can’t help but run a hand through her carefully arranged, generally unruly blonde curls.

“Ugh, what a mess!” she grumbles, moving quickly to tuck an errant lock back into place. The gates swing wide, and she drives her practical, late model, blue Toyota on to the sweeping grounds. The wind-swept, leaf-littered driveway is long and curving, the house still not visible.

Despite her misgivings, the young reporter drives on. Soon, she crests a small hill and spies the massive, ornate Victorian mansion in the distance. ‘Deep breaths, Christina,’ she thinks, filling her lungs up with a slow inhale and holding it for a few seconds before releasing it in a sigh. The house grows larger in tiny increments, soon becoming a behemoth of a structure on the horizon.

Warm lights glow in several of the windows, and the grounds that spread out before her in the dusk throw shadows across her path. Trees and shrubberies hug close to the driveway. She can see a fountain of some sort near the house, its cascading waters glinting as the light from the home filters through the droplets.

The crunch of gravel from the driveway disappears as she pulls into the circular turn-about that curves in front of the house. Christina slows; craning her neck to gape at the façade of the house, then stops a few feet away from the front steps. The house literally looms – casting even more shadows onto the already dim grounds. Taking another deep, calming breath, she glances in the rear-view mirror, tucks that stubborn lock of blonde hair back into its place once more, and gathers her bag from the passenger seat.

“Let’s do this!” she murmurs, opening the car door and stepping out into the brisk autumn evening. A shiver works its way up her spine, but she tugs her coat more securely around herself and nudges the car door closed with her hip. She’s here. She’s done the hard part. All that stands in her way now is a few yards of driveway and some rather impressively intimidating stone stairs. A huge wooden door is at the end of her path. She grits her teeth as she takes note of the antique brass knocker that’s centered at eye level, as if this could get any more
