The Quiet Splinters

A buried truth. A family secret. A protector who won't let her drown.
Four years ago, a car accident took Elizabeth Morgan's parents and left her holding a life she never chose. She's built something quiet since then - a job behind a bar, three friends who'd burn the world down for her, and a brother she trusts more than anyone. Then she finds a letter her father hid two days before he died, and the ground she's been standing on starts to give way.
Someone doesn't want Liz asking questions. The harder she looks, the more the danger closes in - and the more she leans on Jake, her brother's best friend, the man who's always watched her a little too closely and never once explained why. He swears he's protecting her. He's also keeping secrets of his own.
Caught between a truth that could destroy her family and a love she never let herself want, Liz has to decide how far she's willing to go - and who she can trust - before the people pulling the strings decide for her.
