After a failed job interview, Rose Miller's fortune changes through a chance encounter with A-list socialite Grace Pembrooke. Grace's influence helps secure Rose a coveted position at a New York media giant, but the editor-in-chief's offer comes with a catch: Rose must write an exposé on Grace's inner circle, particularly Ellis Dane, the reclusive figure at the center of Champagne Bay's wealthy summer scene.

Under the guise of writing a summer romance, Rose infiltrates the legendary parties at the Dane estate where she discovers more than family secrets behind its gilded walls. The estate holds a supernatural curse, binding the Dane family within its borders until Ellis fulfills an old promise to marry Grace—a promise broken when he fell in love with someone else.

Death becomes an unexpected party guest at the Dane estate, and as her investigation grows more dangerous, one wrong move could expose Rose's true motives. As the cursed wedding draws closer, she learns that in Champagne Bay, there are forces that can turn even the most privileged into prey. And some people—including herself—will do anything for revenge.
