TREASURE BENEATH THE WAVES
Book 2 in the Mirage Unmasked: The Parker Legacy Quadrilogy
A tale of secrets, trauma, chaos… and love.
Best friends. Buried truth. And a killer who never stopped looking.

After a devastating car crash leaves her sister in a coma, Kitty Parker becomes guardian to her young niece and nephew—two grieving children clinging to the only family they have left. But just as she begins to rebuild their fragile world, danger starts to seep through the cracks. Secrets from the past resurface—whispers of stolen relics, a mysterious stalker, and a legacy someone will kill to claim. And when gunshots ring out at a family attraction, it’s clear the threat isn’t just watching. It’s closing in.
Her only constant is Zane Winsor, co-captain of the NHL Titans and her best friend since high school. Fiercely protective, relentless, and no longer willing to stay on the sidelines, Zane is ready to fight for Kitty and for something deeper neither of them can ignore.
But trust is fragile.
Love is dangerous.
And when an attempted kidnapping shatters their sense of safety, Kitty must face the truth:
She’s not the only target.
Eliza, her best friend, vanished years ago—forced to flee the country after they witnessed a murder no one was ever supposed to see. It was a choice that changed everything. Now Eliza is back—under a new name, with a new look—but the people they were running from never stopped searching. And even in disguise, someone has recognised her.
The secret they buried together? If it surfaces, it won’t just destroy the life Kitty’s fighting to protect—it could get them both killed.
This isn’t just survival anymore.
It’s war.
Secrets. Chaos. Trauma. Love.

Perfect for fans of Big Little Lies and Tell Me Lies, this gripping sequel blends domestic suspense, generational secrets and emotional resilience in a story that will stay with you long after the final page.
