DANGER AND INTRIGUE

A missing husband. A suspicious death aboard a luxury yacht. A family fortune hidden across generations. A Hollywood scandal. A small-town secret with deadly consequences.

As seemingly ordinary lives collide with extraordinary circumstances, women caught by surprise must summon their courage, determination, instincts, persistence, resourcefulness, and sheer grit to survive what comes next—because there might not be a next unless they do.

Brimming with suspense, intrigue, twists and turns you don't see coming, and a lovable mix of unforgettable characters, Twelve Stories High is a collection of mystery-thrillers about what happens when life suddenly demands more from us than we ever expected.

Sometimes, the greatest mysteries aren't the ones we're trying to solve. They're the ones that reveal who we truly are.

TWELVE STORIES HIGH

MYSTERY, THRILLER, AND SUSPENSE SHORT STORIES

They're entrepreneurs, dreamers, artists, daughters, caregivers, and survivors. Yet they're plunged into mystery they never expected—where secrets unravel, dangers close in, and buried truths could bury them.
