WHEN THE DOORS OPENED AT ROSEWOOD
连载中Victoria Sterling keeps the accounts at Rosewood Manor and has counted its rooms twice. So when a narrow green door appears in the west corridor, she cannot leave it alone.
With the help of Spencer Cavendish, the charming and controlling son of a neighbouring family, Victoria follows a trail of ledgers, a hidden nursery, and an empty grave into a secret her family has guarded for eighteen years. What she discovers will force her to question not only the people who raised her, but the story she has always been told about her own birth.
As the truth surfaces, Victoria must decide who she is, what she owes the people who lied to her, and whether she can love a man who keeps deciding what she can bear. Her answer is to ask for time. She builds a life as a writer, makes a costly mistake of her own, and discovers that telling the truth—and allowing others to tell theirs—can be harder than uncovering the truth in the first place.
Victoria Sterling负责管理Rosewood庄园的账目，每一间屋子都盘点过两遍。因此，当西侧走廊突然出现一扇窄窄的绿色小门时，她无法视而不见。
在邻家公子Spencer Cavendish的协助下——此人风度翩翩，却惯于掌控一切——Victoria循着一串账簿的线索，穿过隐秘的育儿室，追至一座空荡荡的墓穴，最终触及一个家族秘密，而这个秘密已被守护了整整十八年。她的发现令她不得不重新审视那些将她抚养成人的人，以及她一直以来所相信的关于自己身世的故事。
真相浮出水面，Victoria必须做出抉择：她究竟是谁，她对那些曾欺骗她的人又负有几分情义，以及她能否爱上一个总是自作主张、替她决定"她能承受什么"的男人。她的回答是：给我时间。她以写作为业，重新构筑自己的人生，却也犯下了属于自己的代价高昂的错误。她渐渐明白，说出真相——并允许他人道出他们的真相——有时远比揭开真相本身更为艰难。
