The Sins

Half of The Sins happens in Doylestown, in the part of Pennsylvania I call home. The other half happens on the shore of Lake Bomoseen in Vermont. Tonya writes for a small town paper. George builds things with his hands. Two words on a summer morning start it all. What follows is a long love story with real danger running underneath, for readers who want a big romance with a thriller's pull.

She walked past his driveway on a summer morning in Vermont. He turned from his truck and smiled. "Good morning."

Two words. That's all it took. Tonya is a twenty-three-year-old journalist at a small-town newspaper in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, a woman who has spent her life putting words on paper for people who will never know her name. George is a twenty-eight-year-old construction worker on the shore of Lake Bomoseen, Vermont, a man who builds beautiful things and carries a weight he cannot explain. Their love is immediate, undeniable, and separated by two hundred and seventy miles of highway. But George has a secret. And the closer Tonya gets to the truth, through her work, through her instincts, through the quiet observations of a woman who notices everything, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because the people George is hiding from are the same people who have started watching her. When Tonya's investigative reporting attracts the attention of a fentanyl pipeline stretching from Canada to the streets of her hometown, she finds herself at the center of something far larger than a newspaper story. And the man she loves is closer to it than she knows. The Sins is a story about the lies we tell to protect the people we love, the truths we choose not to ask for, and the morning that changes everything.

Some secrets are kept out of love. Some lies are told to survive. And some mornings change everything.

She thought she knew the people closest to her. She thought she knew herself. But when one devastating morning strips away the careful stories they've all been telling, she's left facing the only question that has ever truly mattered, how much of what she believed was ever real?
