I found my fiancé and my best friend in Room 1408, with my savings, my brother's tuition, and a cake that said Finally. So I put the cake in the face of the first man I met upstairs. Turns out he owns the hotel. Elias Crane doesn't fire me. He does something worse. He offers me a ring, a fake year, and a way to bury the man who framed me. All I have to do is become Mrs. Crane before December first. But Elias has been looking for the woman who wears my mother's locket, and he hasn't told me why. Neither have the men in gray coats who keep turning up at my door.
