The Strangers Grave

Miranda James thought tracing her family history would be a quiet journey into the past…until she woke up chained inside a crumbling whipping shed on an abandoned plantation.

Rescued by Texas Ranger Mike McCutcheon and Rivers Bend Police Chief Luke Marston, Miranda should have been safe. But someone chose her. A second attempt proves her abductor isn’t finished—and this time, he won’t let her go.

Laine Chambers is determined to protect those in her care. But as Luke uncovers a human trafficking ring operating in the shadows—and Laine is drawn into a battle against an evil that refuses to stay buried—the danger surrounding Miranda begins to close in.

Now, the only way to stop it…is to use her as bait. Because some graves don’t stay silent— and some obsessions never die.
