Publisher's summary

Disappearing wasn’t going to be enough…they needed a plan…some answers…and a safe place where they couldn’t be found…and time to figure out what to do next.

Years ago, two men prepared for their worst case scenario, hoping their plans would never be needed. Simon Sullivan now has reason to be grateful that he and his brother went to the extreme lengths they did and continued their efforts in all the years since…because the worst they imagined has arrived.

It’s the middle of the twenty-third century and while there have been staggering technological and environmental advances, human nature is still very much the same as it has always been. One woman unexpectedly finds herself thrust into the middle of a long simmering struggle between power, greed, and an overwhelming effort to keep long hidden secrets buried.

Hidden Keys is a series of short stories, each revealing key pieces of information that are not always obvious to Ava Sullivan and Harper Riley as they do everything they can to identify her pursuers, find the answers about why they are after Ava, and somehow stay alive after surviving the first attempt on her life only days after her father’s death.

Luckily, Ava isn’t on her own. Harper is a childhood friend that she hasn’t seen in years, but just as when they were kids, he is proving again that he can be trusted even as they just barely avoid one near miss after another. But this isn’t the first time that Harper Riley has had to dodge bullets or protect himself from oncoming fire. Now though, the gun in his hand is to protect Ava.

But when it comes to his unexpected feelings about the woman he’s trying to keep safe…the timing couldn’t be worse.

The Hidden Keys Short Story series is filled with long hidden secrets, strong characters, and a growing quest for justice. If you enjoy Short Reads…quick to read short stories, slightly entangled and complicated relationships, and a puzzling mystery that needs to be unraveled…Hidden Keys may be the series for you.

This is part five of the Hidden Keys short story series that is best read in sequence.
