Vanished in the Darkness

This title was previously published as Glimmer in the Darkness. Cassidy Leblanc spent years trying to escape her traumatic past as a foster child with a mother imprisoned for murder. A decade ago, she and James Sullivan's sister Hallie were kidnapped while Cassidy was babysitting. Cassidy escaped, but Hallie died, and suspicion fell on Cassidy. Facing public condemnation and police investigation, she fled town. Now another child has gone missing. James never believed Cassidy was guilty, but when he discovers her on his property, he's uncertain what to think. Cassidy claims she's returned to find the kidnapped girl, Ella, and needs his help. James must decide whether to trust her despite what authorities say. Together they search for the cave where Cassidy and Hallie were taken years before. However, someone is determined to prevent them from finding it—or from surviving if they do. The story combines suspense with themes of second chances and a missing child.
