Suspensenovel Stories

"She disappeared three years ago... then her message arrived."

Reyna Coleman came to Miami to start over. She did not come looking for complicated. But complicated has a way of finding the people who are least equipped to turn it away. When her job puts her in the orbit of a man already caught between what his life looks like and what it actually is, she recognizes the danger too late to do anything useful about it. He is not free. She knows it. She chooses him anyway, slowly and deliberately, and with her eyes open, and what builds between them in the margins of his failing marriage is real in a way that neither of them was prepared for. But the world around them is not simply a failing marriage. There are secrets here that have been kept long enough to develop their own consequences. People are watching. There are debts owed to the wrong people, and the trail of those debts runs closer to both of them than either has been told. What begins as a slow burn in the South Florida heat becomes something darker and more dangerous than Reyna bargained for, and the question the book is really asking is not whether she will survive it. She will survive it. The question is what she will know by the end that she cannot unknow, and whether she will still be standing in the same place, choosing the same thing, with the full picture finally visible. Set across Miami, Little Havana, and the streets of Old San Juan. This one will make you wait. That is the point. ----- ©️ RelleLebby // R. L.
