Sorry for the late answer, I just saw this. And yes, the Ehrman mansion was an inspiration!

I had to think about this awhile. I agree with you that there was not a safe on the yacht. It seems that telling Lachlan there was a safe on the yacht was simply a way to get him on the yacht. I think it would be very much in character for this lie to be told as well as believed.(less)

Part of one of the chapters, in Nina's POV, seemed to be told by someone else, like they were looking in through the window on her? Right? I thought it would get brought up again but never did....
