The Gift He Left Me | BOOK 1|

For twenty-five years, Azariah Bennett believed she knew the story of her father.

Marcus Bennett was the loving father she barely remembered-the man who died when she was only five, leaving behind a grieving wife and a daughter who would spend the rest of her life missing him.

But on her twenty-fifth birthday, Azariah receives a gift she never expected.

A photograph.

Her father is standing beside a man she's never seen before.

On the back are four words:

Ask him about Marcus.

Suddenly, the father Azariah remembers doesn't seem to be the whole story.

Her mother refuses to explain.

Her grandmother knows more than she's willing to admit.

And the mysterious man in the photograph has a name...

Elias Carter.

Elias doesn't want to talk about Marcus.

Azariah doesn't understand why.

But the more she searches for answers, the more she realizes that everyone connected to her father's past seems to be hiding something.

And Elias may be the only person who can tell her the truth.

The closer Azariah gets to the answers, the more complicated everything becomes-including her feelings for the man who knew her father in a way she never could.

Some gifts are meant to be opened.

Others are meant to uncover what was buried.

And Azariah is about to discover that the past never stays buried forever.
