Sterlingkbrown Stories

A gripping mystery-thriller that twists deeper with every chapter. Ten strangers. One luxurious retreat. And a secret worth killing for. When a hand-picked group of guests arrive at an exclusive wellness retreat, each carries their own burden-regret, guilt, loss, and lies. For former FBI agent Samantha Torres, the invitation is more than coincidence. She's chasing a trail that leads directly to one of the guests. But the promise of rest and renewal shatters when a famous actress is found dead under suspicious circumstances. With the mansion sealed off and communication mysteriously cut, paranoia spreads like wildfire. The retreat's carefully curated peace unravels into chaos-and no one is above suspicion. A brilliant hacker, a disgraced therapist, a charming businessman, a troubled journalist, and a grieving widow-each guest has something to hide. As dark secrets come to light, alliances form and fracture. And someone among them will do anything to keep the truth buried. In a house built on deception, who do you trust when everyone wears a mask?
