star child

A routine blood test should confirm what Cassidy Hollis already believes about herself: twenty-eight, ordinary, explainable. Instead, it returns markers no laboratory can name, a signature that traces to no population on record. The results pull her toward a community that has kept the same secret for generations. She finds love with David Morrow, who carries the same unmapped blood DNA, and a daughter who will carry more of it than either parent understands.

Eleanor Hollis-Morrow grows up hearing what people do not say. She feels what they carry and remembers what they try to forget, though she can never push a thought of her own into anyone else’s mind. By eleven she understands the shape of the choice ahead: use what she senses, or protect everyone around her by staying silent forever.

At twenty-two, Eleanor breaks her silence, but carefully. What she knows cannot stand up in court, so she builds a case fact by verifiable fact until it holds without her in it. Working alongside an investigative journalist, she turns instinct into evidence and an untouchable company into a target. What she can’t prove might destroy her. Staying silent could destroy someone else.

Some inheritances are written in blood. Others have to be earned.

Star Child is a romance. It is also a story about inheritance, restraint, and what it costs to use a gift.
