You'll Never Find Me

From the award-winning author of the Detective Harriet Foster series comes an emotionally charged journey of resilience and redemption, when a young woman flees her corrupt family to build the home where she belongs. Esmee Manning sees something she wasn’t supposed to—and it opens her eyes to who her family really is. Refusing to play the part of dutiful daughter, Esmee leaves her home and herself behind. She assumes a new identity, traveling from one city to the next, never staying too long in any of them. When she meets lawyer Augustus Payne, he promises her a place to once again call home…and another she’ll have to escape. It’s not until Esmee and her son find their way to New Jerusalem, Illinois, that she breathes easy. But even amid the tight-knit community that becomes her sanctuary, Esmee keeps her eye on the outskirts. Augustus won’t let her go that easily. Her family’s still out there. And now, it’s not only her freedom Esmee stands to lose. She has a whole life to protect. And she’ll do whatever it takes to keep it—her son, her friends, her town—safe.
