Secrets of Circumstance

She had been abandoned as a baby and now she was doing the abandoning. That house and family she left behind. Her guardian had died suddenly. It was grief that drove her away as a teen. At least that’s what she told anyone who would ask. However, that wasn’t the reason. She kept a secret locked up inside her never to resurface. Only one other person knew and she was going to keep it that way.

Katrina told herself she would never return to that house, but after an intriguing phone call from the lawyer handling her guardian’s estate she found herself facing her past and her fear.

“No big deal” Katrina tells herself, she could handle anything. She didn’t expect this small town lawyer to be a handsome, sea-eyed charmer with suspicion in his every action. Katrina ignores his strange ways until a phone call comes late one night and leaves her without a word. “Her body was found” Katrina’s confidant says. That’s impossible. It couldn’t be “her body”. Would her gruesome secret be revealed? What would keep her afloat? Could her salvation be the handsome so-called lawyer?
