Description
The sprawling Stonehold estate is a place defined by what is missing. Fifty years after the mysterious disappearance of heiresses Willow and Ivy Wilde, the manor remains haunted by the suffocating weight of history. For Summer Wilde, the estate is less a home and more a gilded cage, one she is expected to lock herself into forever through an upcoming, passionless marriage to Brody Weston.
Summer has long accepted her gilded prison, until the return of Ford Flores—the sharp-witted, tattooed groundskeeper she hasn't seen since a single, life-altering kiss fifteen years ago—shatters her carefully constructed apathy. As their paths converge against the backdrop of the misty Cascade foothills, Summer finds an unexpected spark of defiance. She is tired of living in the shadow of family ghosts and forced expectations.
But excavating the truth is a dangerous business in Echo, Washington. As Summer digs into the estate’s long-buried secrets, she uncovers a trail of hidden rooms and cryptic sketches that suggest the Wilde sisters’ disappearance wasn't the accident everyone believes. To bridge the widening gap between her duty and her heart, Summer must confront the darkness of her ancestral home. The Wilds & The Weeds is a sweeping, atmospheric tale of reclaimed agency, buried truths, and the courage to rewrite one's future.
