Cradled Hearts

"Tell me more lies and I won't trust you again. Ever!" -Nevan Eryx

One missing woman.
One broken investigator.
And a family too powerful to be touched.

Nevan Eryx Alfaro was born into wealth, legacy, and a name that commands respect. But when a hotel employee from their own business vanishes-and clues point to something darker-Nevan finds himself pulled into a case that hits too close to home.

Dismissed from the force after a critical mistake, Nevan is reassigned far from the spotlight. Until a routine patrol brings him face to face with a symbol tied to the very syndicate that started it all.

At the same time, a quiet nanny named Hana Elisse Santos enters their mansion-harboring secrets of her own, including a name that shouldn't exist.

What starts as a search for truth becomes a race against time. What begins as a case becomes a confession. And what lies between them could either destroy a legacy-or save what's left of their cradled hearts.
