The Cabin Between the Pines

Book Description

Mia came to the coastal cabin looking for distance from Los Angeles, from Hollywood, and from the unanswered questions that have followed her since her father vanished.

But the cabin is not the quiet refuge she remembers.

Hidden beneath the floorboards is a rusted metal box containing an old photograph, a torn coastal survey map, a brass key, and a phrase written in her father's handwriting:

Between the pines, before the tide.

With Jake at her side and Kate determined to turn fear into action, Mia begins digging into the mystery her father left behind. Their search leads them through forgotten trails, abandoned ranger stations, dangerous tide caves, and a small coastal town where everyone seems to know more than they are willing to say.

Then Daniel Hunt steps back into Mia's life.

Now a ranger, Daniel carries secrets of his own-secrets tied to Mia's father, old land deals, illegal activity hidden along the coast, and the people who may still be watching from the trees.

As Mia follows the clues deeper into the forest, she realizes her father did not simply disappear. He found something. Something powerful people wanted buried. Something connected to the land, the tides, and the strange symbols carved into the woods.

And the closer Mia gets to the truth, the more dangerous the cabin becomes.

Haunting, atmospheric, and filled with mystery, romance, friendship, and coastal suspense, this chapter in Mia and Jake's story reveals that some family secrets do not stay hidden forever-and some forests remember everything.
