Summary

There’s something off about the house…as if it’s hiding a dark secret. That’s why artist, Emily Lawrence thinks it’s the perfect subject for a cover commissioned by a famous horror author. But that’s her little secret. Her husband, Miles, can only assume the house she is constantly sketching is her dream home. So, when Emily is sidelined by an unexpected, high-risk pregnancy, he buys it thinking it’ll be perfect for their growing family.
 
Immediately, Emily begins to hear voices and senses a child’s presence. Is the house haunted or is it stress getting to Emily? Her husband certainly thinks it’s all in her head. A traumatic delivery leaves Emily convinced something is terribly wrong. Miles must navigate his wife’s delicate state, and care for their newborn son, while returning to work. It’s a tenuous situation—then the baby disappears.

    The storm had been building, and now, the reckoning had come. Joe Galloway had fought to hold onto his business, his family, and his life in Bellevue. But the battle isn’t just about land or money anymore—it was about power, blood, and who was left standing when the dust settles. The Consecki family ruled the coal industry with an iron fist, and Pete Consecki would do whatever it took to keep it that way. Rules don’t matter. Neither does the law. Winning was the only thing that counts. Sheriff Smith had seen enough blood spilled in Bellevue, and he was desperate to stop the war before it consumed the town. He warned Joe to stand down, to let justice take its course. But Joe knew better. Justice was a luxury for men who still believed in it. Violence was the only language his enemies understood—and it was the only thing he had left. When two more bodies hit the ground, the choice was made for him. The final showdown was coming, and the cost of survival may be more than anyone was willing to pay. In Bellevue, there were no second chances. No redemption. No mercy. This time, only one man would walk away.

    It will be the adventure of a lifetime for Carrie Brinkley... if she makes it to the end alive.GOLD MEDAL: Readers’ Favorite Book Awards - 2023 - Fiction - AdventureOVERALL WINNER: Firebird Book Awards – FictionWINNER: Literary Titan Book Awards – Gold MedalWINNER: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Winter 2023 – Best Adventure Fiction 
    When Carrie loses her job and boyfriend during the opening weeks of the pandemic, she’s determined to reset her life in a positive direction. The answer? A solo, two-month, cross-country bicycle trip from Virginia Beach to Mendocino, California. 
    Yet dangers lurk that she’d never anticipated. During Carrie’s idyllic journey across the continent, her greatest danger comes not from her encounters with angry animals, road hazards, or the elements. Something much worse stalks her—something much too human. 
    EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a novel that’s part literary suspense, part women’s fiction, part crime thriller, part travel fiction, and one hundred percent fun. A young woman’s journey of adventure becomes one of profound self-discovery. 
    “Thriller readers will appreciate the intrigue and suspense that follows Carrie into these milieus; travel or bicyclist enthusiasts who anticipate an encounter with ordinary Americans will appreciate the extraordinary circumstances that force Carrie to adopt surprising positions of strength; and fans of novels that pair disparate elements of intrigue and growth will find her story compelling, riveting, and hard to put down.” ~ Midwest Book Review, D.
