her parents were assassinated and destined to marry a man twice her age. So when Hiraya
Ranoco an old friend offers Josephine an escape she can't say no. All she needs to do is
spend one night in the Ranoco's home and play a children's game of hide and seek. If she wins
she can have anything she wants. Even perhaps Hiraya's heart. But the manor is sprawling and

Josephine. She must stay hidden until morning but can she make it through the night?
