Small towns hide big secrets when mysteries unravel from beyond the grave.

Casi returns her mother’s ashes to her hometown in northern Canada to finally put her to rest. What she discovers is an unnerving and deadly coverup from her childhood. She searches for solace with Kyle by her side and is protected by old friends, igniting romantic interest and reuniting relationships.

Kyle wrestles with guilt from his past, revealing the truth behind his nightmares. Casi plans a trip through Europe to help him find closure and honor commitments.

When a dark secret erupts, Casi becomes a target of conspiracy and threats. She reacts impulsively, setting severe consequences in motion. Mary and Ava step in, forced to break pacts and divulge truths kept hidden for decades.

From Northern Canada through Europe, revelations threaten families and unearth mysteries which were better left buried.

Fantastic Story backed by Beautifully Crafted Characters

This is the first book I've run across from S. Q. Orpin but it certainly won't be my last. Dang can she craft a story. Even though this was the 4th in the saga, I jumped right in.

I love stories with strong women and real love stories. This book managed to have both.

The entire time you read it, youll find that you're wondering just what will happen next and if everything will turn out. I even found myself wanting to cry a few times.

But, like every great novel, the suspense throughout the book is wrapped up nicely in the end.

This book has turned me into a true fan. Now excuse me while I go buy and start on the first book!
