Ties that Bind by CJ Darlington
On a quest to find her father, a young woman discovers she has two sisters who have no idea she exists.
Newly released from prison, Brynn Taylor is determined to find her father, a man she’s never met. Her only clue to his whereabouts is the address she finds in a volume of an 1811 copy of Jane Austen’s Sense & Sensibilityhe inscribed to her years ago. Armed with a bus ticket, backpack, and her grandfather’s gun, her search leads her to Elk Valley, Colorado where her plans and her life begin to unravel.
When she discovers she has two sisters who have no idea she exists, she can’t bring herself to reveal her identity right away. Trying to make a good first impression, Brynn finds her life quickly intertwined with theirs. Will her past catch up with her before she finds the courage to tell them the truth?
Available now!
