THE REMNANT DUET
A suspense novella series
Where old wounds linger, family is chosen, and home is never simple.
What begins with Lucia Pierce returning to the home she once escaped becomes a story about the family she never expected to build. Across Lingering Shadows and Fading Embers, old wounds collide with new dangers as Lucia and Isaac learn that finding home is one thing—and holding on to it is another.

LINGERING SHADOWS
Book I
Suspense Romance Psychological Thriller
Lucia Pierce has spent years trying to outrun the nightmares and the childhood she left behind. When her estranged father dies, she inherits the long-abandoned family home in rural Coalwick, Iowa—a house her mother placed in trust for her years ago.
What looks like a fresh start quickly turns darker as Lucia begins uncovering pieces of a family history she was never meant to understand. The deeper she digs, the less certain she becomes about the people she lost—and the more dangerous it feels to stay. Fortunately, her new neighbor Isaac has a habit of showing up, asking questions, and refusing to let her face it alone.
Some shadows don’t disappear just because you leave them behind.

FADING EMBERS
Book II
Suspense Romance Family Drama
Milo has already been left behind too many times. Lucia has no intention of adding herself to the list. After a devastating storm, she hands him directly to an emergency responder while she and Isaac are pulled in different directions. He had been safe. Lucia knows that much. But when they make it back to him, no one seems to know where he is.
For Lucia, finding Milo means more than bringing him home. It means proving to a child who has already learned what abandonment feels like that she will never choose to leave him behind.
