The Unforgiven

Desperate to clear their names, the couple retreats to the redwoods, only to discover they have been followed. Anonymous letters slash at old wounds; a hacked therapy file spreads across social media; and each clue points to someone inside the inner circle they have fought to heal. As boardroom ambitions collide with back-alley sabotage, Vanessa is forced to relive the secret that ruined her family—and Jake must confront the betrayal that sent his father to prison. Reputations teeter, donors vanish, and the press circles like sharks for blood, while an unseen hacker drips out secrets that warp allies into unpredictable threats.

The stalker’s ultimatum is chillingly simple: abandon the gender-equity movement they built, or watch the people they love destroyed one by one. With their nonprofit’s systems collapsing and a hurricane barreling toward the Maine safehouse where their two-year-old daughter sleeps, Vanessa and Jake have forty-eight hours to unmask an enemy who always seems two moves ahead.

Trust is their only weapon, but in a game where every confession becomes ammunition, trusting each other might be the final trap.

Love remade them. Now it might be the bait that gets them killed.
