When Wings Flutter

Some love lasts more than a lifetime

On the other side, Kate’s soul prepares for her next life. She just won’t remember the lessons she needs to learn or their purpose after she's born.

Now in her twenties, Kate Matthews meets the handsome, charismatic Will Kennedy. She falls hard and fast with no idea she’s loved him before—in other lifetimes. They marry, have a son, and Kate’s life finally feels perfect.

Then, in an instant, her world shatters. Kate must face life on her own as she attempts to move forward as a single mom. To support herself, she turns her baking hobby into a business, but her heart has no interest in finding love again.
 

Her soul, however, has other plans.
 

A seemingly inconsequential meeting brings Sam, a charming food critic, into Kate’s life. They’ve just met, yet he seems hauntingly familiar. Kate’s drawn to Sam, but her determination to hide her true feelings could cost her everything she’s worked toward.

What Kate doesn’t realize is the role her past was always meant to play in her future. It’s only when she’s forced to revisit her darkest hour that she makes a startling discovery about fate, enduring love, and the power of second chances.

 When Brittany Mullins shows up at the hospital after being attacked, she's alone and in bad shape. Her injuries heal, but she's locked away the memories of who she is and what's happened to her. She has keys to an apartment and identification, but the name on her driver's license appears to be for a person who doesn't exist.

Brittany comes to detectives, Jules and Becky, in hopes they can use DNA testing to confirm her real identity. While they wait for her results, they dig into the few clues they have about her life before the attack. They can't help but believe she's in hiding--from someone or something dangerous.

When a mysterious man appears to be stalking Brittany, Jules and Becky know they need to protect her until they can figure out how he fits in. As they attempt to unravel his agenda, they discover there could be more at stake than they imagined. Then, as friends and family gather for a wedding, Brittany goes missing. Becky panics, especially when she realizes Jules is nowhere to be found either.  

 As a young girl, Donna Thomas tragically lost her mother and sibling. Her wealthy father has been emotionally absent ever since. As an adult, he refused to help, insisting she had to find her own way in life. When he dies, Donna’s convinced this is her chance to get what she deserves. After all, there is no other family. 

But then his will deals her an unexpected blow. The estate is to be shared, not only with a mysterious stranger, but also a half-sister Donna didn’t know existed. It’s bad enough she has to share her father’s money, but his last words stipulate she doesn’t get a penny of her inheritance until she locates her half-sister. 

Angry and bitter, Donna turns to Becky and Jules who’ve just opened the doors of their new detective agency. Having solved family mysteries of their own, they’re now ready to help others. As they follow the trail Donna’s father left behind, it becomes clear someone else is on the hunt as well. One accidental death in their path could be coincidental, but when it looks like the mystery beneficiary has been murdered, they don’t know who to trust. 

As Becky and Jules scramble to find the connection behind Donna’s father and the murdered stranger, they worry time is running out. If they want to find Donna’s half-sister alive, they had better find her fast, because someone else seems to be one sinister step ahead of them—they want what’s theirs, and they’re prepared to kill anyone who gets in their way.  

 Buried secrets can be deadly.

Becky Morgan has a life most women would envy until a car accident lands her in the hospital. She insists she’s fine, but it quickly becomes clear she’s changed. She’s forgetful, paranoid, short-tempered. Her husband wants to write off her change in personality to the IVF hormones she's taking in an attempt to get pregnant.
 

Becky's best friend, Jules Dalton, is a gorgeous, single woman, with a habit of sabotaging relationships. When Jules loses the man who could have been “the one,” she confronts the realization that being adopted at birth is contributing to her trust issues. She’s obsessed with finding out why she was given up and turns to DNA testing in hopes her matches will lead to her birth parents.
 

As Jules dives into her DNA results, Becky’s life soon becomes one she doesn’t recognize. Those closest to her are accusing her of things she simply can’t explain or remember. She’s terrified of losing everything: her career, her marriage, and her dream of becoming a mother.
 

Desperate to put the pieces of her shattered life back together, Becky needs her best friend more than ever. What she doesn’t realize is that Jules knows something that could explain everything away.
 

Becky has a dark past she’s unaware of. A darkness that’s coming for her.
 

It could also get her killed.

WHERE THE TRUTH  HIDES

Where the Truth Hides is a real nail-biter throughout and downright creepy toward the end -- just the way I like my domestic suspense. When you think you know the answer, you don't, but Liane Carmen deftly sets the story and its surprises in the light with a satisfying conclusion. Settle in for a riveting read!

I'm so excited to have found this great new author. This novel took me by surprise. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend it. The author has several twists and turns that I didn't see coming, and that final scene was amazing.  Cannot wait for anything else this author writes. Amazing!
