Not all secrets remain buried forever...

A twisted tale of family secrets and the darker side of human nature that will leave you wanting to research your own family history.

Can we control the ripple effects of childhood trauma and abuse that follow us into adulthood? How do we know monsters aren’t lurking inside loved ones in our own family? Or us?

Thirty-five years ago, the unthinkable happened in a family-run hospice. A young woman confined to her bed and unable to fight back has repeatedly endured the most horrific of crimes. The staff is shocked to learn that a predator is among them, but the director hurriedly covers up the incident to protect himself and the company.

In the present day, a single young mother is found brutally murdered in her home. The local police believe it to be the work of a serial killer they’ve been pursuing, but the FBI has a different theory.

Vicky Collins, a newly minted FBI agent, is having the worst week of her life. One moment she is celebrating her selection to a special task force investigating the Piggyback Killer. The next, she finds herself fighting to keep her job and repair her reputation. A routine DNA test at the FBI reveals an unknown sibling match—a registered criminal she neglected to mention on her background check. The problem is that Vicky doesn’t have an estranged brother, or does she?

Vicky undertakes a harrowing journey to locate a brother she never knew existed. To save her career and learn the truth, she must dig up mysteries from her past and uncover long-held family secrets. The more lies and deception she unearths from her past, the more she realizes the danger closing in around her and her loved ones.

Will she identify the killer and clear her name before it’s too late, or will her past finally catch up to her?

HERE IS WHAT EARLY REVIEWERS ARE SAYING:

Meet  Special Agent Vicky Collins. 


Vicky Collins has a seemingly enviable life. She is a successful agent for the FBI and lives with her social media star and real estate entrepreneur boyfriend in an upscale neighborhood of San Diego.

But appearances can be deceiving.

When Vicky is recruited to an elite unit at the FBI to investigate a serial killer piggybacking on the murders of other serial killers, her life begins to spiral out of control.

To complicate things further for the young special agent, a routine background check at the FBI reveals a sibling DNA match — a brother she didn’t know existed. Determined to unravel the mysteries of her past and to find her long lost brother, Vicky retraces the boy’s footsteps through the foster care system, uncovering the abuse and neglect he suffered growing up. The secrets she unveils are more monstrous and terrifying than she ever imagined, and a new truth about her childhood threatens to consume her.

Then the Piggyback Serial Killer strikes again, but this time, Agent Collins has multiple suspects—including members of her own family.

If I Had Two Lives delves into dark subject matter — murder, sexual violence, and childhood abuse. It is not for the faint-hearted. This book was inspired by a young woman in a vegetative state who was sexually assaulted and impregnated by an employee of the care facility. If the story touches you as deeply as it touched me, I’d love to hear your opinion.
