When the Sky Fell on the Mountains
They were supposed to have forever. Then her mother's lies tore them apart.
Eight years ago, Mary Whitaker fled her mountain hometown and the only man she'd ever loved, believing Cal Morgan had betrayed her. Now Hurricane Helene forces her back to North Carolina—straight into his arms and into a deadly truth that will either destroy them or set them free.
Her mother's deathbed letter confesses to devastating lies, but that's only the beginning. Hidden journals reveal a conspiracy of murder stretching back decades—corrupt officials, staged accidents, and witnesses who died for asking the wrong questions. Mary's own father was one of them.
Every secret has a body count.
As the hurricane tears through the mountains, Mary and Cal race against time to expose a network of killers who will stop at nothing to protect their empire of corruption. Their investigation makes them the next targets, trapped in a deadly game where love might be their only weapon—and their greatest vulnerability.
In the North Carolina mountains, some storms wash away more than trees and houses. Sometimes they reveal the secrets buried beneath.
