About this ebook

Only she knows what happened

 

The betrayal…

After finding her fiancé and best friend in bed together, Syra Fragos flees heartbreak for the lush farmland and unplugged serenity of Amish Country in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

 

There, she stays in a farmette with no electricity or Wifi. But there is one perk: handsome caretaker Jonas Martin. A decade ago, he was banned from the Amish after refusing, without explanation, to marry his pregnant teen girlfriend, Lydia.

 

The accident…

When Lydia is tragically killed in a buggy accident while riding with her and Jonas' young daughter, Jonas returns home to Amish Country. Is it to make amends to his daughter? Or does he have a darker motivation…?

 

The letters…

When Syra finds a box of letters from Lydia to Jonas buried under the porch, she can't help but dive into them. Against her better judgment, she's falling for Jonas and wants to know what kind of man he really is. Why did he abandon Lydia and their daughter so long ago? Did he have anything to do with Lydia's buggy accident?

 

The secret…

Jonas confesses the real reason he's returned. He and his sister suspect that Jonas' daughter is the only one who knows a terrible secret about their mother. A secret so explosive that when the little girl heard it, she stopped speaking…

 

Now if only Syra can get the girl to reveal it… but does she really want to hear it?

 

The author of top-selling The Neighbors in Apartment 3D, The Last Star Standing, and The Little Girl in the Window is back with her signature brand of crackling suspense with twists you will never predict. For fans of Lucy Foley, Shari Lapena, Freida McFadden, and Gillian Flynn.

 

Praise for The Little Girl with a Secret:

★★★★★ "I almost choked on my lunch from the twist!" —Goodreads reader

"I was kept guessing till the end. Lots of twists, turns, suspense, and secrets revealed. I couldn't put it down!" —Goodreads reader

"It seems like everyone has secrets in this story, not just the little girl!" —BookSirens reader

"The author reels you in from page one. … Is there anything better for a summer read than a Lancaster Amish mystery? This book was wonderful and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys family dramas, non-violent mysteries, and a good love story." —Goodreads reader

"This story took me on an emotional roller coaster and in the end, I said, wow! The characters are well-written and I did not see all of the plot twists and turns and surprises. C.G. Twiles knows how to write spooky." —BookSirens reader

 

The Little Girl with a Secret is not a sequel to The Little Girl in the Window. However, that book is recommended as a companion read. The thrillers share similar themes: A city girl hiding out in the country. A borrowed dog. A love interest who may or may not be trouble.

 

And a strange little girl who holds the key to a dark secret.

 

Praise for The Little Girl in the Window:

"The last several chapters blew me away and left me saying, 'I didn't see that coming' more than once! This is another hit by C.G. Twiles." —Goodreads reader

"What can I say about this book, except it was bloody brilliant! What an amazing, unexpected twist. It sneaked up behind me, and whacked me upside the head. I saw stars—in this case, five." —Goodreads reader
