A Charleston-set suspense thriller featuring a determined female attorney, buried secrets, and the dangerous pursuit of justice.

Lee Danforth thought she’d left Timberline Farm, and everything that happened there, behind. Then a young girl escapes the ranch and comes to her with chilling revelations, pulling Lee back to a place once trusted to protect the vulnerable.

Haunted by her past with Jack Marshall, Timberline’s late founder, Lee must confront a relationship she once believed was love but now recognizes as abuse and exploitation. As she investigates, she discovers that Jack’s surviving family has turned the farm into a front for trafficking and corruption. His death is looking more suspicious with every passing day.

Exposing the truth could cost Lee her career, her reputation, and her safety. Staying silent could mean more children vanish.

As powerful forces close in, Lee faces an impossible choice: protect the life she’s built, or bring Timberline’s monstrous legacy into the light.

For readers drawn to suspense novels with strong female leads, dark family secrets, and high-stakes investigations.
