Ten years ago, Laura Montenegro disappeared after a secret initiation at Saint Augusta. The five powerful girls who entered the forest with her returned home and built their lives upon the same lie.
Now, human remains have been uncovered on the abandoned school grounds, along with a ring belonging to Helena Vesper, heir to the family that controls the town. When private investigator Maya Torres arrives determined to uncover what happened to Laura, she finds herself drawn to the one woman she should never trust. Helena is beautiful, calculating, and concealing enough secrets to destroy them both.
As anonymous letters force the women of Saint Augusta to confront what they buried, Maya and Helena enter a dangerous alliance shaped by suspicion, obsession, and an attraction neither can control. Because Laura may not be dead, and someone has spent ten years preparing her return.
Everything We Buried is the first book in The Heiresses of Vesper, a dark sapphic romance series filled with psychological suspense, morally complex women, family corruption, dangerous desire, and secrets that refuse to remain buried.
