Description
Nia has met the man she wants to marry. Marcus is kind, clever and handsome, with a beard so dark it is nearly blue-black. Nia demands a single promise from him - that Marcus will never enter her study, her private space. But when Marcus's curiosity begins to mount Nia feels more and more uneasy. Will he betray her? Can he accept that no means no? Can a woman ever have a room of her own? --from Amazon.

A re-telling of Bluebeard where the wife has some dark secrets of her own. It's a bad take, but it's not really anything to write home about, either. The strongest part of the book is probably Laura Barrett's illustrations, although I don't think those alone are worth the cover price.
