## Caption

For years, bonfires have been lit by superstitious villagers intended to ward off the spirit of the man who was once their Laird. Suspected to have been an occultist, and rumoured to have committed unspeakably unholy acts, his widow, Isabel, remains in the big empty house on the hill, ever present, ever watching.

What history forgets is behind every enigmatic man is a woman with a heart full of secrets. Haunting the house that hosted her undoing; Isabel now steps out from her husband's mythologised shadow to tell her own story. A story of oceans crossed, forgotten ancestry, and a woman pushed to the edge by unfathomable betrayal.

IN YOUR HEART A DEVIL🕯️ is the first novel from Vanessa Santos, author of Make a Home of Me, and will be publishing in autumn of 2026.
