The First Meridian

By: Voss, Sahara

The first Meridian was built to protect the truth. Then it learned how to control it.

Simone Carter believed she had finally ended the network that manipulated her family for generations. But an anonymous call, a threatening photograph from her wedding, and a red file carrying an impossible message reveal that Hale Meridian was only an imitation.

The original organization is still operating.

Its secret custodians have tracked Simone since birth, cataloging every relationship, weakness, and choice-including her marriage to Marcus Hale. Now they intend to make her the successor to a system capable of restoring stolen identities, exposing institutional crimes, and rewriting entire lives.

As Simone and Marcus follow the trail from an abandoned Maryland hospital to a hidden island archive, they uncover a conspiracy older than either of their families. But the network's most dangerous secret may be the truth Patricia Carter took with her when she disappeared.

To end the First Meridian, Simone must decide whether its power can be used without becoming another form of control-and whether love can survive a truth powerful enough to rewrite everything she believed.

The First Meridian is the gripping fifth and final book in the Love, Lies & Lessons series, an emotionally charged romantic suspense saga filled with family secrets, dangerous legacies, betrayal, and hard-won love. The series is best read in order
