Every story begins with an idea—but somewhere between the first sentence and the final page, it becomes something more.

Sometimes the most dangerous word a daughter can say is no.
In The Lost of Ridgefield, eighteen-year-old Katherine “Katie” Taylor refused the marriage her father, Reginald Taylor, had arranged to Daniel Hahn. Katherine cared for Elias Montgomery and believed her future should remain her own.

In The Wrong Kind of Mercy, Avra Winslow returns to Ashmore, Mississippi, years after her husband, Caleb Jonathan Winslow, was convicted of a murder she believed he did not commit—and later died in prison under circumstances that left more questions than answers. Avra has lived with grief, suspicion, and the knowledge that the truth about Caleb may never have been told.
Chief Travis Boone, Caroline Prescott, and Bonnie Marlowe each hold a piece of a past that refuses to remain buried. The Wrong Kind of Mercy is a psychological mystery about justice, loyalty, guilt, and the dangerous difference between showing mercy and protecting the guilty.
