Safe Harbor

She survived by hiding. Now the truth is forcing her back into the house that stole everything.

Three weeks after Daniel Vale’s arrest, Haven Point is trying to breathe again. Mara Ellis is learning how to live without checking every shadow. Sheriff Caleb Rowan is supposed to be recovering from a gunshot wound, which would be easier if trouble stopped showing up with excellent timing and terrible manners.

Then a woman steps off the ferry with a warning, an anchor tattoo, and a name that is not really hers.

Tessa Lane has spent years running from Harbor House, the beautiful cliffside “recovery center” where women were promised safety and given locked doors, drugs, false records, and arranged disappearances. She escaped with part of a ledger, but she left her sister Naomi behind. Now Naomi may still be alive, and Safe Harbor wants Tessa back badly enough to drag every buried secret into the light.

As Mara, Caleb, Claire, Evelyn, Nora, Owen, and Tessa begin unraveling the ledger, they discover Safe Harbor was never just one corrupt shelter, one abusive husband, or one dangerous doctor. It was a system. A house with many doors. Judges, lawyers, physicians, donors, and family bloodlines helped build it—and some of them are still hiding in plain sight.

When the trail leads back to Harbor House, Tessa must decide whether to keep running or face the room that broke her. Mara must confront records tied to her own past. Evelyn Cross discovers her name may be connected to the foundation of the nightmare. And Caleb learns that Anna Rowan’s death was not the end of the story. It was the warning.

Dark, emotional, suspenseful, and threaded with sharp survivor humor, Where She Hid is a gripping romantic suspense novel about women reclaiming their names, families torn apart by power, and the courage it takes to stop hiding when hiding was the only thing that kept you alive.

Because Safe Harbor is not finished.

And this time, the women it hunted are no longer alone.
