EASTBROOK
Where Every Secret Has a Body CountMarisol “Mari” Dupree thought she left Eastbrook behind years ago.
The small Georgia town gave her heartbreak, family secrets, and a past she worked hard to forget. Now a successful investigator living in Chicago, Mari has built a life far away from the neighborhood—and from the man who once held her heart.
Then a phone call from her grandmother brings her home.
When Darius Cole asks for help uncovering the truth behind his younger brother’s murder, Mari finds herself pulled into a dangerous investigation that exposes corruption, missing money, and powerful people willing to kill to protect their secrets. What begins as a search for justice quickly becomes something far more personal.
Because the deeper Mari digs, the more impossible the truth becomes.
A long-lost sister appears with evidence that could destroy some of Eastbrook’s most powerful figures.
A trusted best friend has been keeping devastating secrets.
The mother Mari buried as a child may not be the whole story.
And the man she never stopped loving may be the most dangerous secret of all.
As lies unravel and loyalties are tested, Mari must decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice for the truth—and whether love can survive the weight of betrayal.
In Eastbrook, everybody has secrets.
Some are worth killing for.
And some can destroy an entire town.
Perfect for readers who love emotional family drama, Black Southern fiction, shocking twists, second-chance romance, and binge-worthy suspense that keeps you turning pages late into the night.
