My Sister Killed Me for Her Favorite Son

Adrian Hart believed he had finally found a family when his sister Serena brought him home to Blackwood Manor. But in Serena's eyes, her adopted brother Evan always came first. When Evan feared marrying Catherine Sinclair, Adrian took his place at the altar, swallowed a fake-death pill, and woke in St. Mary's Cemetery. Six times Serena promised it was the last. The seventh time, she poured the pill down his throat herself, and this time Adrian truly died.

His soul lingers, watching Serena, Bayhaven's youngest medical examiner, examine his own body without recognizing him. As her assistant Miles reports signs of prolonged abuse and long-term poisoning, Serena vows to find the killer, never suspecting she is the one. Meanwhile Evan demands she collect Adrian, silence loose ends, and force a confession over a stolen thesis.

When Serena lifts Adrian's wrist and sees a childhood scar from the mountains, the truth begins to surface. Until his last breath, his sister was never on his side.
