Description

Perfect for fans of Nora Roberts, Danielle Steel, and Janet Evanovich, this season’s captivating read follows a woman held captive by a painful past, forced by crisis to confront her deepest fears and reclaim the future she deserves.

From her secluded, mountain-top home, Katherine Winston writes her bestselling young adult series, “Girls with Unusual Powers.” To the nearby small-town residents, she’s simply a mysterious recluse living quietly and alone—exactly as she prefers it.

Life wasn’t always this solitary. Though born into privilege, Katherine’s childhood was marked by neglect from wealthy but detached parents. Undeterred, she built a fulfilling, busy life, until tragedy shattered everything. Terrified of connecting with others, she withdrew from the world, finding comfort and security solely in her two loyal dogs and anonymous interactions with readers through online fan communities.

When Katherine learns that one of these faithful fans may be in trouble, she feels compelled to help. Stepping beyond her isolated comfort zone for the first time in years, her determination grows—but so does a creeping sense of unease. Katherine increasingly suspects someone is watching, approaching closer by day, confirming some of her long-held fears.

Only by leaving her sheltered life behind can Katherine unravel these troubling mysteries, rediscover courage and trust, and seize the unexpected new beginning she never saw coming.
