The Orchard of Mirror Bones: A Bellweather Orchard Mystery

The dead don’t lie, but the living are masters of deception.

Eden Shaw, a reclusive forensic artist, has built a career on the belief that bones tell the only truth left in the world. When she is summoned to the decaying Bellweather Orchard to identify a skeleton unearthed from the roots of an ancient tree, she expects a routine reconstruction. What she finds is a nightmare: the skull she is reconstructing looks exactly like the woman standing right in front of her.

Maren Bell is the elegant, guarded scion of a family haunted by whispers of a generational curse. With sharp cheekbones and a secret behind every glance, Maren is as magnetic as she is dangerous. As Eden works to pull a face from the clay, the atmosphere in the estate grows suffocating. Forced together by a mystery that defies logic, the professional distance between the two women begins to erode, replaced by a slow-burn attraction that is as chilling as the mist in the orchard.

But the Bell women have a history of repeating tragedies, and a shadow known only as the Prowler watches their every move from the dark. To break the curse, Eden must uncover the truth hidden in the marrow of the past. But in a house where the mirrors seem to hold the faces of the dead, she must ask herself: Is she falling for a victim, or the next killer in a long line of Bell tragedies?

If you love atmospheric lesbian gothic romance, psychological suspense, and the tension of a high-heat slow burn, step into the orchard--if you dare.
