Sacred Paths

By J.R. Collins

Dr. Laura Jones thought her biggest problem was rebuilding her life after a bitter divorce. A successful gynecologist in Peachtree City, Georgia, she's focused on her thriving practice while trying to heal from her failed marriage to Ryan-a man who left her for a younger woman and shattered her trust in love.

But when Sophia Torretti, her ex-husband's girlfriend, stumbles into Laura's office as an emergency patient-bleeding, terrified, and desperate-Laura's carefully rebuilt world explodes. The same woman who has hurled racial slurs at her in public is now begging for her help. And the medical examination reveals far more than Laura bargained for.

Sophia is hiding a deadly secret: she witnessed Ryan commit murder.

As Laura is pulled deeper into a web of corruption involving Atlanta's underground sex clubs, corporate conspiracy, and racial violence, she discovers the victim was someone she knew-someone whose death demands justice. But with Sophia's life hanging in the balance and a killer who will stop at nothing to cover his tracks, Laura must choose between her professional oath to heal and her moral obligation to expose the truth.

Set against the backdrop of Peachtree City's interconnected golf cart paths-where neighbors can seem close but remain strangers-Sacred Paths weaves together themes of racial identity, betrayal, and redemption in a story that will keep you turning pages late into the night.

In a community where everyone knows your business, some secrets are worth killing for.
Perfect for readers who loved "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" and "Such a Pretty Girl"-a gripping psychological thriller that doesn't shy away from difficult conversations about race, privilege, and the courage it takes to do what's right.
