“Suspense, romance, and generational secrets meld in this engrossing new novel from USA TODAY bestselling author Colleen Coble.
Strands of Harper Taylor’s childhood are resurfacing—but will the truth save her . . . or pull her under?
Harper Taylor is used to being alone—after all, she grew up in one foster home after another. Oliver Jackson finally took her under his wing when she was a runaway teenager, and now Harper pours her marine biology knowledge into Oliver’s pen shell research. But she’s never stopped wishing for a family of her own.
So when a DNA test reveals a half-sister living just two hours away, Harper is both hopeful and nervous. Over warm cinnamon rolls, Harper and Annabelle find striking similarities in their stories. Is it just a coincidence that both their mothers died tragically, without revealing Harper and Annabelle’s father’s name?
Oliver’s son Ridge still sees Harper as a troubled teen even all these years later. But when Oliver is attacked, Ridge and Harper find themselves working together to uncover dangerous secrets that threaten to destroy them all. They must unravel her past before they can have any hope for the future.”

My Review:
Recently, I’ve heard several news reports about DNA testing and how families have been reunited because of it. I’ve also read an article about the complications that could come because of the results of the tests. Told in a way that only Colleen Coble can tell it, this story combines the blessings and the negative consequences of the testing.
Half sisters Heather and Annabelle are delighted to find each other through this testing. But almost immediately, it seems that both sisters are in danger. It’s a race against time to try to solve the mystery of who is trying to kill them. The truth has long-reaching consequences, and it will take the efforts of all their friends to help them survive.
I liked the characters of Heather and Annabelle. Both wanted to do the right thing as far as solving the mystery, and wanted to protect each other. Heather was quite rightly having trouble trying to decide who she could trust. It took me a little while to like the character of Ridge, as I felt he was needlessly unkind to Heather. But he soon redeemed himself, and becomes quite the hero.
There are so many twists and turns in this story that I could hardly imagine how it would turn out, and I have to admit that I would not have guessed the ending. This suspense is what keeps me reading every book that Colleen Coble publishes.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
