Lost Words

When the dead refuse to rest, one forgotten story can become dangerously hard to bury.

Lexie Knight is supposed to be worrying about midterms, her unpredictable roommate, and figuring out what she actually wants from university. Instead, a sleepless night leads her into an empty dorm room - and to a stack of decades-old documents hidden behind the wall.

The papers belong to Natalie Williams, a brilliant student who died before she could defend a potentially groundbreaking dissertation.

The official story says Natalie overdosed. Her family says otherwise.

Unable to let the mystery go, Lexie starts digging into a death everyone else left in the past. Her search keeps crossing paths with David Kallis, a SafeWalk volunteer studying Police Foundations who wants nothing more than a future in law enforcement. Helping Lexie chase an old case could test everything he's been working toward, but walking away from her proves harder than expected.

As forgotten evidence and buried secrets surface, curiosity turns into danger - and the attraction growing between Lexie and David becomes impossible to ignore.

Someone has spent years counting on the dead staying silent. Lexie is about to discover how far they'll go to keep it that way.

Lost Words is a New Adult romantic suspense blending a campus cold case, an amateur investigation, and a slow-building romance with danger close behind.
