When Emma Greer returns to her family’s lake house in the small town of Lakehaven, she expects to confront memories she’s tried to forget. Her estranged father’s sudden death forces her back to the place where, just a year ago, her childhood best friend Rachel Hayes mysteriously drowned. Though Rachel’s death was ruled an accident, Emma has always suspected otherwise—and now, new clues are beginning to surface that suggest she was right.

A torn piece of fabric caught on the dock. A phone call Rachel made to Emma the night she died but never completed. A locked drawer in her father’s study filled with secrets he took to his grave. As Emma digs deeper, she uncovers a tangled web of lies that ties Rachel’s death to her own family in ways she never imagined.

But Lakehaven holds more than just memories—it holds dangers. Someone knows Emma is searching for the truth, and they’ll stop at nothing to keep the past buried.

What really happened to Rachel that stormy night? How is Emma’s father connected? And can Emma uncover the truth before it’s too late?

Secrets by the Lake is a gripping tale of buried secrets, family betrayal, and the lengths we go to for the ones we love.
