Discover ‘Stars Don’t Lie‘
Between ocean and stars, something is always being pulled in opposite directions-one sinking into depth, the other refusing to fall.
When a murder inside Chicago’s Police Department shatters the fragile order Lieutenant Oliver Quill has built around his life, a routine investigation becomes something far more personal. The deeper he digs, the more the case begins to bleed into him-into memories he buried long ago, into silences he never learned to explain, and into a past that refuses to stay dead.
Beside him is Detective Hazel Winters.The star that quietly shows the way when everything else fades.Somewhere between the ocean and the stars, Oliver must discover what is truly holding him together.
Because people lie.
But stars don’t.

Glimpse of ‘Stars Don’t Lie’
Read an Excerpt…
Everything exactly as it had been. Everything completely different. A peaceful smile spread across her face. Because she finally understood. The ocean had taught Oliver how deeply someone could love.
The stars had taught Hazel how to keep loving after loss. She looked up one last time. The stars looked back.
Steady.
Silent.
Unchanging.
And somehow…
That was enough.
Because people lie.
Fear lies.
Memories sometimes lie.
But stars don’t.
