Hidden Harbor (Seashore Cove Series Book 3)

When corporate attorney Nathan Morrison arrives in the small coastal town of Seashore Cove, his assignment seems straightforward: quietly settle claims from families whose teenagers have mysteriously fallen ill. But as seventeen kids struggle with devastating neurological symptoms, Nathan discovers his client, Cascade Chemical, has been knowingly poisoning the community's children. Claire Thompson returned to Seashore Cove to heal from her own past traumas, finding unexpected love with FBI Agent Tom Hartwell—the partner of her late husband. But when she encounters Nathan Morrison, she's shattered to recognize him as the son she gave up for adoption twenty-seven years ago, now working for the very company destroying her community. As Nathan uncovers evidence of contamination that goes back years and affects far more victims than anyone imagined, he must choose between the partnership and fortune he's worked for his entire life, or protecting the children of strangers. When he and whistleblower Felicia Santos attempt to expose the truth, they become targets of a corporate conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of law enforcement. With his own son among the poisoned teenagers, Tom races against time to save the witnesses and stop Cascade Chemical before more children are harmed. But in a town where federal agents take bribes and corporations will kill to protect their profits, trusting the wrong person could be fatal. In this gripping tale of environmental crime and family secrets, a mother's desperate love for the son she never knew, a father's fight to save his poisoned child, and a young lawyer's crisis of conscience collide in a battle between corporate greed and small-town justice. Some choices define us. Some secrets redeem us. And sometimes, the family we choose is stronger than the forces trying to tear us apart. ***** Fans of Erin Brockovich's real-life environmental justice will be captivated by this fictional thriller that pits a small town against corporate corruption. If you enjoy the complex family dynamics and coastal settings of Robyn Carr's Virgin River series, the environmental legal thrillers of John Grisham, or the emotional depth of small-town suspense by Colleen Coble and Irene Hannon, Hidden Harbor delivers all the small town suspense you crave. This Christian romantic mystery weaves together elements of clean second-chance love, family secrets, and a race against time to save poisoned children, creating a page-turner in the tradition of Terri Blackstock's environmental thrillers and Susan May Warren's Montana Rescue series. Although each book in the series can be read as a standalone, the characters are interconnected and it is recommended to read the series in the order of publication dates. View Less
