Two words stripped Zeluna "Luna" Phillips of her privacy, her sanity, and her future: I'm pregnant.
As a brilliant data researcher, Luna is used to solving complex puzzles, but her own life becomes a toxic equation when she discovers she is three and a half months along with her cheating ex-boyfriend's child. The father is a spineless coward, but the real threat is Chloe Tinker-Luna's former best friend, the girl who slept with her boyfriend, and the daughter of Luna's OB-GYN.
When Luna's highly confidential medical file is leaked to the public square, her deepest secret is dragged bare before the world. The culprit is obvious. Chloe didn't just steal Luna's thunder; she dropped a digital bomb, blocked the blast radius, and vanished into thin air. But Chloe forgot one crucial detail: Luna knows exactly how to track a ghost.
Now six months pregnant, Luna refuses to play the victim. Armed with nothing but her laptop and a lethal determination, she launches a multi-state manhunt that leads her straight into the Deep South. From the fractured families of her hometown to the historic streets of the New Orleans French Quarter and the glittering, high-stakes casino floors of Biloxi, Mississippi, Luna follows a trail of stolen money and monstrous lies.
Because Chloe hasn't just run away-she has reinvented herself as "Chloe Sanders," weaponizing Luna's pregnancy to convince wealthy socialites and powerful moguls that she is the tragic mother-to-be, and Luna is the unstable surrogate withholding her child.
Supported by a fractured alliance of old friends and Ezra Sanchez-a fiercely protective casino director who stirs feelings Luna never thought she'd feel again-Luna sets a final, inescapable trap at a multi-million dollar high-society wedding rehearsal.
The countdown to the due date is ticking. The house is open. The battle lines are drawn. And Luna is about to prove that when you steal a mother's thunder, there is absolutely no harm done until the storm hits.
