Mystery Stories

In the aftermath of a devastating event, a once-close family is torn apart by the burden of an ancient feud between their ancestors. The father, along with his sons, seeks refuge in the depths of South America, while the mother takes to the road across the United States, hiding with their only daughter. Five years later, a single phone call summons the brothers back to the U.S., urgently needed to help their sister. But when they arrive, they discover she isn't the only one in need of their assistance. There's someone else-someone they knew existed but had never met: their youngest sister, Estella. She was the child their mother was pregnant with when she fled their family home in Connecticut so many years ago. Now, Estella's world has been turned upside down, and the family is thrust into a heart-wrenching reunion. Told through the innocent eyes of a five-year-old girl, this is a story of a broken family struggling to protect one another from the cruel forces that have torn them apart. Will the innocence of a child be enough to heal the wounds of the past, or has time already sealed their fate forever?

Lethal, consuming, and nothing like he imagined. She had tried to shield him. Fought with silence, with distance, with every piece of strength she had left. But she couldn't stop him from stepping into her world. A world she had spent years trying to escape. And when the dust finally settled, when the damage was done and truth lay bare, she vanished once more. This time, she left no trace. Only the ache of unfinished stories and a man still waiting. Waiting for the girl who had become both his ruin and his reason. They will meet again, after time, after distance, after everything. But when they do, nothing will be the same. Because some love stories don't unfold. They circle back. And begin again. ••• This is NOT a standalone book.
