What Still Burns

The author of One of Those Faces returns with a haunting story of a young woman's return home to face her tragic past, the fire that killed her family, and what remains in the ashes. Lex Blake swore she would never return to the town, but when her aunt dies, she has no choice but to settle her family's estate. The town is tight-knit, staunchly religious, and wary of the Blakes, but her old flame, Kael McPheron, is not enough to distract her from the bitterness of her past. Lex must contend with strange occurrences and mysterious phone calls that unlock buried childhood memories, and when a body turns up, she realizes the mystery is deeper than she ever imagined.

From the author of One of Those Faces comes the haunting story of a young woman's return home to face her tragic past, the fire that killed her family, and what remains in the ashes. Alexis "Lex" Blake swore she would never return to the town where she had lost her home and her family in a devastating fire that only she survived and can barely remember. But when her aunt dies, leaving behind a mountain of debt, Lex has no choice but to head back to Northern California to settle her family's estate. The small town is much the same way Lex left it: tight-knit, staunchly religious, and wary of the Blakes, as evidenced by her run-ins with the sheriff, the preacher, and the nosy locals. The one saving grace is her old flame, but even Kael McPheron isn't enough to distract Lex from the bitterness of her past. Preparing her family's property for sale forces Lex to contend with strange occurrences and mysterious phone calls that begin to unlock buried childhood memories. And when a body turns up—and then another one—Lex realizes that the mystery of that night is deeper than she ever imagined, and the threat that already destroyed her life once still burns.
