About this audiobook
He has read every document she's requested for months. He knows what she's looking for. He knows she's about to find something worse.
Callum Beckett is the special-collections archivist at Coldridge, the man who decides which boxes stay sealed. For months he has been the anonymous reader behind Iris Thatcher's research. He is the keeper of the archive, and of the lie inside it.
Iris is a writer-in-residence whose sister fell from a bluff the school had stripped of its railing, then settled cheaply for silence. Iris came to find the proof her parents were paid to forget.
She doesn't know the records she's circling hold something older and worse than her sister's death. She doesn't know the archivist filling her requests has watched her the whole time.
Book 3 of The Coldridge Trilogy, the finale. A standalone dark academia romance with a guaranteed HEA. For readers of H.D. Carlton and Penelope Douglas.
CW: explicit content, stalking. No cheating, no cliffhanger, guaranteed HEA.
