Mystery and romance abound in Anya Silverage’s sparkling debut novel The Secrets of Haut House.

Scandal erupts when an industrial mogul dies unexpectedly in the arms of his mistress. Everyone in his Michigan mansion has a secret, and no one is above suspicion....

Lakshmi “Lucky” Solomon, sometime babysitter for Dipper Haut, wishes people would call her by her real name. She doesn’t feel lucky any more, not after that shocking evening when she heard Rolf Haut take his last breaths.

Lucky’s mother, Haut House chef Chandra, once risked everything for love… and lost. Now at a personal and professional crossroads, she’s tempted to make the safe choice. Does her boss’s death give her the freedom to take risks again?

Wild child Jay Haut was disinherited four years ago. When the police arrive to investigate his father’s death, he struggles to escape his tarnished past and accusations of foul play.

From a masked Cinderella trying to steal the mansion’s artwork, to three-year-old Dipper, whose parentage remains shrouded in uncertainty, everyone at Haut House is hiding something.

As a web of hidden affairs becomes exposed, the mansion’s residents must confront the most dangerous mystery of all: how did Rolf Haut really die?

A contemporary romance and closed room whodunnit that deftly weaves together diverse love stories with elements of classic mystery.
