Breaking Point

Some houses keep their secrets long after the doors are locked. Irma Willoughby has always been fiercely independent. But as winter closes in, the silence of her isolated farmhouse grows heavier. A stark reminder of her recent widowhood and years of estrangement from her children. The house she refuses to leave holds more than just memories. It holds secrets. Then her daughter Hilary returns, unannounced and full of questions. She says she's worried, but Irma can feel the tension. The way she asks about Irma's late husband. About the brother who died so long ago. About things better left unspoken. As the temperature drops, strange disturbances begin to stir. A cellar door left open. Family photographs moved. Her husband's old pipe reappearing without explanation. The past isn't just haunting Irma. It's clawing its way to the surface. With trust fraying and danger circling, Irma must face the one truth she's never dared admit: the greatest threat may not come from outside, but from within her own family. In a home filled with ghosts, the most dangerous thing of all might be the truth. Alone is a haunting psychological suspense novel about fractured families, buried guilt, and the chilling consequences of truth. It's the first book in the Breaking Point Series, perfect for fans of The Push, We Need to Talk About Kevin, and Sharp Objects.

Sometimes the softest whispers hold the hardest truths. When Brody Willoughby chose sides, he chose wrong. Still haunted by a bitter childhood, Brody allies himself with Willow, the birth mother who claims she was forced to give him up decades ago. But when Willow pressures his adoptive mother, Irma, to sell the family farm or pay an impossible sum, Brody senses something darker behind her demands. His sister Hilary is convinced their father's journals hint at disturbing family secrets. At first Brody dismisses her warnings-until he discovers Willow's name tied to a trail of fraudulent property deals across Millbrook. What began as a personal vendetta quickly spirals into a chilling conspiracy targeting vulnerable homeowners, with Irma's farm next on the list. As the lines blur between ally and enemy, Brody faces a gut-wrenching truth: the woman he's defended might be orchestrating the betrayal he's uncovering. In Millbrook, where family secrets run generations deep, the whispers of truth may come too late to save the people Brody loves most. Whispers is a domestic thriller about fractured loyalties, buried lies, and the devastating cost of believing the wrong truth. Book Two in the Breaking Point Series.
