When Finn Hensen receives news of their estranged father’s death, he and his sister Jess expect to inherit a dilapidated farmhouse in Mallorca. They’re stunned to learn that their father had remarried shortly before his passing—and that his new wife, Ruensa, and her daughter, Roze, still reside there. Determined to claim the family property, Finn travels to Mallorca only to find the finca transformed into a chic retreat. As he becomes entangled with Ruensa and Roze, suspicion and attraction intertwine. With Spanish authorities probing the father’s death and Finn's emotions in flux, he must decide whether they’re innocent caretakers—or devious opportunists. Unfolding in a sun-drenched and subtly menacing landscape, this twist-laden thriller explores deception, desire, and what happens when inheritance turns into intrigue. Reviews “I loved it. J. P.
