Bad Intentions

by Iliana Xander

Josie Boots has made a terrible mistake. Returning to her small hometown of Burnville to care for her ailing grandmother, she is forced to confront a past she thought was buried. Twenty‑five years ago an unspeakable crime shattered the town and led to her grandmother’s trial; twenty‑two years ago her mother died, and six years ago Josie was labeled the "bad seed." As she tries to find peace, a stranger arrives promising answers about her family’s dark history. When Josie meets him, a brutal crime unfolds before her eyes, and the secrets of Burnville begin to claw their way back to the surface, hunting her with deadly intent.
