Costly Secrets 5 (The Hidden Hideaway #5)

They’d prepared for this moment all their lives without believing anything would ever come of it...they were wrong.

Danae knew before she ever heard her brother’s voice that it was bad...and it didn’t take long to find out just how bad it was. She’d always understood the high cost of secrets...and quickly learned that sometimes the price of truths was far more costly.

It took her even less time to realize that she’d never really known true fear.

She did now and knew that the heart-pounding terror she’d experienced in those handful of moments when a gun was pointed at her brother as they stood to one side of the ridge was something she was never going to forget.

Or the slow moving moments that followed.

She honestly didn’t believe anything else could compare to those dark and disturbing moments... until she found out that the greatest danger of all could be to her carefully guarded heart.

Join Danae and Adam in this cozy romantic mystery as they along with family and friends work together to unravel unexpected clues and long guarded family secrets that numerous individuals with criminal intent are willing to commit murder to keep hidden. Their somewhat hazardous adventure continues in the big city where they find the answers they're looking for but it is bittersweet when they reveal heartbreaking betrayal.

If you enjoy clean romance, a mystery to keep you guessing, and feel-good inspirational women's fiction filled with friendship, second chances, and the very real-life turbulence of family and relationships, this romantic mystery series collection is for you.
