He buried his wife. Five years later, she walked back into his house.
Five years ago, Melody Peligan died in a yacht explosion.
At least, that is what her husband, his family, and the rest of Harlow’s Bluff believed.
There was no body. Only a closed casket, a signed death certificate, and a powerful family too eager to move on.
But Melody lived.
Pulled from the water, broken beyond recognition, she rebuilt herself under a new name: Zara Peterson. New face. New papers. New voice. Same memory of the man who stepped off the yacht minutes before it exploded.
Now Zara is back inside the Peligan estate, hiding in plain sight as a restoration project manager. Her target is the family empire, built on stolen art, dirty money, and buried crimes. Her plan is simple.
Find the evidence.
Destroy the family.
Disappear again.
But Lucian Peligan is not the man she expected to find. Grief has hollowed him. Suspicion shadows him. And the more Zara uncovers, the less certain she becomes about what happened on the dock that morning.
Did Lucian help kill his wife?
Or did someone use him to make sure she died?
When old enemies surface and the Peligan secrets start bleeding into the open, Zara has to decide what justice really means when the truth refuses to stay clean.
She came back to bury the man who buried her.
But some graves do not stay closed.
THE WIFE HE BURIED is Book Four in the Unbreakable series: revenge, suspense, and a heroine who doesn't need saving, she needs a plan. Can be read as a standalone. Kindle Unlimited
