Books are a uniquely portable magic.

Some families protect their own.
Others will kill to erase them.
Vanessa Saint James thought returning home would bring closure after her father’s death. Instead, it unlocks a nightmare she was never meant to survive.
As secrets surrounding her powerful family begin to surface, Vanessa becomes the target of whispered threats, calculated betrayals, and a chilling truth that could cost her everything. The people she trusted most may be the very ones determined to silence her, permanently.
Enter Bingham.
A quiet, disciplined protector with a past forged in violence, he’s hired to keep Vanessa alive. But the closer he gets, the harder it becomes to tell where duty ends and something far more dangerous begins. Because Vanessa isn’t just fighting for answers, she’s fighting for her life.
Hidden alliances. A ruthless enemy. A legacy soaked in blood.
As Vanessa pieces together a conspiracy rooted in greed and obsession, she discovers that survival comes at a steep price, and the truth may be more lethal than any lie.
The Jacket is the gripping first installment in an emotional, high‑stakes suspense series where love is a liability, loyalty is weaponized, and danger wears familiar faces.
Trust no one.
Love carefully.
Survive at all costs.
