Disappearing wasn't going to be enough... they needed a plan... some answers... and a safe place so they could stop running in circles trying to stay one step ahead of the guys nipping at their heels.

Simon Sullivan might not be who Ava always believed him to be, but along with his brother, he'd spent his life trying to protect her. That wasn't going to change especially now when everything they'd planned for, hoping against hope it would never be needed, was playing out exactly as they'd feared.

But he's not alone. Harper Riley isn't about to let anything happen to Ava. He's already killed to protect her... and will again.

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 Sullivan isn't on her own. A childhood friend that she hasn't seen in years is proving once 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.

And is grateful to find that he's not alone in keeping her safe.

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.
