The Guardian II: Rock-A-Bye Nyla

by Keisha Orphey

 

She thought the worst was over.

But secrets don’t stay buried and neither do enemies.

​

Dawn Miles survived incarceration, betrayal, and a cartel ambush. Now free and trying to rebuild her life, she’s haunted by one truth she’s kept hidden for years: Nyla’s father isn’t who everyone believes.

And someone powerful just found out.

​

When her daughter disappears, Dawn is pulled back into a nightmare she thought she escaped. Detective James Hawkins and attorney Lydia Hall join the race to uncover a network of corruption, abduction, and murder that leads straight back to Emilio Sal Chavez, a man tied to the drug empire that destroyed their lives.

​

But Dawn’s secrets aren’t the only ones coming to light.

In a shuttered Houston law office, Lydia uncovers the confidential files of Bernard Delacroix, the high-powered defense attorney who vanished without a trace. What she finds upends everything she thought she knew.  Because buried inside is evidence that points to Dawn herself, not as a victim, but as the possible mastermind of a deadly drug ring.

​

With federal agents circling and time running out, every ally becomes a threat, and every clue uncovers a deeper betrayal. 

 

Bloodlines will be tested. And justice has a price. 

​

Dark, gripping, and emotionally charged, The Guardian II: Rock-A-Bye Nyla is a pulse-pounding sequel about hidden identities, buried trauma, and the fight to protect what matters most, even if it means becoming the very thing you fear.
