The Stepbrother in the Shadows

Synopsis

“My father died in the river. My stepbrother says it was an accident. The Spanish moss whispers otherwise.” After returning to Savannah for her father’s funeral, Harper Quinn moves into her mother’s new blended family—only to realize she’s stepped into a nightmare. Her charming stepbrother Mason hides a violent streak and a criminal past tied to the city’s shadowy shipyards. The only person she can trust is her gentle stepsister Isla, who risks everything to slip Harper clues about their father’s final days. As Harper uncovers forbidden ledgers, late-night threats, and the truth behind her father’s “accident,” she finds herself trapped between loyalty and survival. In a city where secrets rot slower than the Spanish moss, Harper must expose the truth—before her stepbrother finishes what he started.
