Laura Williams hasn’t stepped foot in her hometown since she was old enough to leave.
But when a doctor calls about her mom’s declining medical condition, she has no choice but to return home and look after her.
Besides, it couldn’t be as bad as living in a city with the man who broke her heart. 2 weeks before their wedding.
As a 35-year-old journalist, hanging onto her job by a thread, and healing from a broken heart, Laura goes back to North Carolina to take care of her mom, agreeing to take on any stories that come her way.
When she arrives, the small-town is on edge because a thirteen-year-old girl has gone missing from Lighthouse Lane…again.
Memories come flooding back, and it all sounds eerily similar to when Laura’s best friend went missing from that exact location 17 years ago…
It gets more complicated when she realizes she knows the missing girl’s father. Harry Matthews, who is just as handsome as she remembers.
Laura makes it her mission to do whatever it takes to help Harry find his daughter.
Join Laura and Harry in this small-town romantic mystery as they work together to unravel this high-stakes case, while facing their past and finding love in the most unexpected ways.

Wow, what a twisted mess, this story just gets more intense and complicated. This series should be read in order they are not standalone books. And to think that Laura thought going back home to a quiet life caring for her mother. Will Harry and Laura find happiness? What about the missing children? What about Chloe? Full of suspense and no shortage of drama. Can't wait until the six and final book to find out the rest of the story. I read a free advance copy via Booksprout and voluntarily chose to review it.
Contains Spoilers WHAAAA THESE BOOKS ARE SO GOOD YALL.
This book is information OVERLOAD. I did NOT expect all of these plot twists JEEZ
The audacity of Nathan Grigg to tell his daughter THAT HER MOTHER WAS MURDERED AND THROWN IN THE OCEAN????? JUST BECAUSE HE WANTED HER ALL TO HIMSELF? Dude I hate that guy sm I'm actually so happy he's dead
Chloe, known here as Sylvia Sands, pointed a weapon at Laura and Harry, apparently not recognizing either one of them, her schoolmates from 20 years ago before she disappeared. Laura sat on a barstool and poured a couple glasses of wine, and in shock, Chloe dropped the shotgun and whispered Laura’s name. Chloe told her she had not been kidnapped, that her father had to leave to keep her safe, but she wouldn’t say anything more. But Laura remembered Chloe’s mom breaking down on TV as she begged for information about Chloe’s kidnapping.
They stayed overnight with Chloe. Laura noticed her “panic room” which was stocked with food. They went shopping and Chloe played a cassette player so no one could track the electronics! But she wouldn’t explain who might be trying to do that. But on the way back from the store, she drove to a cemetery and told Laura and Harry that her father had told her that her mom was murdered and he had watched it happen as they threw her body into the ocean – and they were now in witness protection from the cartel. And Chloe tried to figure out who was lying to her as Harry handed his phone over with videos of her mom on her world cruise.
The story continues to reveal more and more of a confusing situation. Greta is still keeping in touch with Harry and Laura as they try to figure out the entire story and how it all ties together. Grab your copy and dive into this thrilling mystery. You will not want to stop reading until the last page as you wait for more to come!

Holy wow this fifth book takes the whole series to a new level and it is so far the one that has the most action, the most secrets, and the most mystery. Someone from the past resurfaces and it throws all your thought you knew into chaos. I flew through this one even faster than I did the previous books and it’s because the action never stopped and I couldn’t wait to find out where the story was going. With the return of a main character everything is in upheaval. Now onto the sixth and final book.
Another wonderful book to the series! The author does a fantastic job pulling you right into the story and had me glued to the pages right to the end and still left with wanting more! The scenes are painted perfectly and the story moves quickly and smoothly. It's filled with secrets. twists, suspense and is an awesome read. I can't wait for the next book!

Book Five sees Laura and Harry finding Chloe in Alaska but she seems nervous to be found by them. Chloe decides to travel home with Laura and Harry when she finds her father had lied about her mother. Laura finds her mother ready for her heart surgery when she arrives home. The book ends in a jaw dropping cliffhanger.

What the heck is going on? As always there’s no way for me to figure out what’s going on until Ms. Parker has published the last book in the series and I’ve been able to finish it. (Do you know how hard it is to not cheat and skip to the final pages?) The threesome (Chloe aka Sylvia Sands, Laura, and Harry) is trying to figure out what’s going on and if Chloe’s mom is dead or alive.

Good novella. Fifth of six in series. These are not stand-alone books. Laura and Harry find Chloe but things aren’t the way they expected things to be. Chloe’s story is bizarre and heartbreaking. Will the answers to the mystery finally be found?.

Wow, I was on the edge of my seat reading this book. Harry and Laura found Chloe. Laura’s mom needs open heart surgery and she is in love with the surgeon. What more can be going on. It seems there is a lot more coming up. Looking forward to reading the next book
A lot of information in this one as the story continues to build. Ends on another cliffhanger. I feel like there’s so many questions I have for the final book that I’m interested to see how it wraps up.
