Ten years ago, seven-year-old Christian Loveless vanished without a trace. On the anniversary of that nightmare, a teenage boy walks back into his family’s life claiming to be him.
Hairstylist and single mother Wren Loveless wants desperately to believe her brother has come home. But small things don’t add up, and she can’t afford to watch her family fall apart again. When a man with ties to Christian’s disappearance turns up dead less than a mile from her house, Wren starts to wonder whether the truth is something far more dangerous than mistaken identity.
TBI agent Nash Hendricks came to Fog Lake to escape his own past, not to get pulled into someone else’s. But he can’t ignore what he sees on the property next door—a family clinging to a fragile reunion while someone in the woods watches and waits. The closer he gets to Wren, the clearer it becomes that protecting her may mean uncovering a truth she isn’t ready to hear.
Wren will do anything to protect her family. But the closer she gets to the truth about Christian’s disappearance, the more she realizes some secrets were buried for a reason.
Weight of Guilt is Book 1 of the Fog Lake: Homecoming trilogy—three sisters, one missing brother, and a secret their family buried a decade ago.
