Camino Curious Series: Book 2

Three strangers. Three secrets. One ancient trail.

And nowhere to hide from the truth.

Claire sets out on the Camino de Santiago to escape her abusive husband's memory—and to discover if there’s still time for her to find happiness. But some ghosts refuse to stay buried. When the detective reopens the investigation into her husband’s untimely death, the question haunting Claire isn't just what the police might discover—but what her teenage daughter witnessed that fateful night.

Annabelle, in an impossible situation, arrives on the Camino scattered and unprepared. As she bumbles her way across Spain, she’s going to need more than her southern charm to get herself out of the mess she’s made.

Daniel has his own reason for embarking on the 500-mile trek. And it isn’t falling in love with a woman harboring a secret that could destroy them both.

On the ancient Camino, where pilgrims have sought redemption for centuries, can these three join forces and conquer the truth, or will the truth conquer them?

Readers of Camino Magic will enjoy a surprise completion.
