THE SILENT ONES In the soft warmth of a tropical night, someone breaks into millionaire Ian Hawk’s mansion, murders his beautiful wife, and steals a fortune in jewelry. His little girl is the only witness. Tessa Shane’s brother, a petty crook is stabbed in an alley that same night and dies in her arms muttering about missing gems. Is this a coincidence, or is there a connection between the two crimes? Ian battles his private hell mired in the grief of being away when his wife was murdered and how he must now helplessly watch as his traumatized daughter withdraws further and further into her silent world. Tessa’s brother is dead; and her fiancé has disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Burdened by loss and their impoverished life, she struggles to take care of herself and her widowed mother. Tessa takes a housekeeping job in Ian’s house and develops a surprising bond with his daughter. Ian needs Tessa to help with his daughter. She needs him to help find her brother’s killer. Their reliance on each other gradually turns into passion. But their relationship soon becomes fraught with obstacles. Buried secrets, family betrayals, and chilling deceptions threaten them both. They must find out who they can trust . . . before the killer closes in on them.
