The Sins we Inherit

Olivia Marlowe's life has always been ordinary.

Work. Home. Sleep. Repeat.

Until Elijah Briggs finds her.

He doesn't knock on her door. He doesn't ask permission to enter her life. He simply appears-again and again-until Olivia begins to wonder if he was ever truly gone.

Elijah is a man consumed by a past that has left him broken in ways no one can see. Whatever happened to him didn't just leave scars. It twisted something inside him. Now he is obsessed with Olivia, and he has decided that her family deserves to suffer for the secrets they've buried.

He wants Olivia to find those secrets herself.

So he becomes a ghost in her life.

A shadow at the edge of her vision. A voice when she's alone. A presence in places he shouldn't be. Clues appear where they shouldn't, secrets surface when she least expects them, and every attempt Olivia makes to escape only seems to bring him closer.

Afraid of what Elijah might do if she refuses, Olivia begins following the trail he leaves behind. Each clue takes her deeper into a past she was never meant to know, and every answer only leaves her with more questions.

She keeps searching because she's afraid of what will happen if she stops.

Until, eventually, there is nowhere left to run. The truth comes out. And it destroys everything.

Olivia is afraid, but somehow, she isn't afraid of Elijah anymore. She doesn't understand why. She doesn't understand herself. The life she knew, the family she trusted, and the reality she once believed in have all been ripped apart.

She wanted answers.

Now she has them.

And she has no idea what to do with the truth.
