Where the Past Still Lives

By Ethan Cole

Eighteen years ago, Claire Sutton fled Marlowe after her brother vanished in a violent storm - and the boy she loved kept a devastating secret.

Now a successful journalist, Claire returns to settle her mother's estate, hoping to finally finish her memoir. But the night she arrives, someone breaks into the house and searches only her brother's belongings.

The only person she can turn to is Luke Harlan - now a detective, and the man who once pulled her from the lake. As they uncover hidden photographs, altered police reports, and a trail of buried secrets, Claire and Luke are forced to face the past they both ran from.

In a town where some stories were meant to stay hidden, they'll have to decide if they can trust each other again... before the truth costs them everything.
