Beneath the Consequences

By C. L. ATKINS

Some consequences do not end when a life is saved.

Paige Barton has spent her life believing the worst moment of her childhood ended at the riverbank, when the boy she would one day marry began breathing again.

Decades later, a train wreck leaves her husband fighting for his life-and her younger brother haunted by memories that do not belong to him. When routine tests uncover a second genetic signature in his body, Paige follows the evidence through tissue, trauma, and a family history that should be impossible.

Every answer draws the people she loves closer to a truth medicine cannot explain. And as her husband's recovery collides with her brother's unraveling, Paige must face a choice no doctor should make and no wife should survive untouched.

They pass beneath the surface, waiting for someone else to carry them.
