The Vanishing ACT

By Cade Haddock Strong

CeCe Stewart's life runs precisely according to plan--a high-powered D.C. career, long hours, and zero personal life.

But when a plane is hijacked and later crashes in the Adirondacks, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to the ensuing chaos. The hijacker vanishes, leaving behind a mystery that grips the nation--and a rumor of hidden treasure buried deep in the mountains.

Driven by equal parts curiosity and impulse, CeCe heads north, where she meets Blake Zeller--a rugged adventurer who thrives on risk. When CeCe's analytical mind meets Blake's backcountry instincts, they form an uneasy alliance that soon ignites with chemistry.

Together, they plunge into a dangerous search that uncovers a decades-old murder and a discovery neither expected: love.

But as CeCe is pulled back into her old D.C. life, ambition and fear threaten to tear them apart. It will take one final leap of faith for CeCe to claim the greatest treasure of all: the woman who taught her how to live life to its fullest.
