Buried Secrets: A Novel of Dark Family Secrets and a Decades-Old Disappearance.

Secrets. Lies. Betrayal.

In the sun-drenched hills of 1930s Italy, a forbidden love story ended in a mysterious disappearance. Now, decades later, a hidden box threatens to unravel everything.

When Ella Perri discovers her beloved grandfather Poppy's secret diary after his death, she uncovers a passionate love affair that was never meant to be revealed. The yellowed pages tell of his forbidden romance with the beautiful Gianna Russo in pre-war Italy, their clandestine meetings in the shadow of Castello Ruffo, and their dreams of a future together. But Gianna vanished without a trace, leaving behind only whispers and suspicions.

As Ella delves deeper into her grandfather's past, she finds herself drawn into a web of family secrets, unexplained disappearances, and dangerous revelations. Strange warnings from locals and her family's increasingly suspicious behavior suggest that some secrets are meant to stay buried.

If Ella continues to dig into the past, will she uncover the truth about Gianna's fate-or share it?

But someone close to her is watching, ready to silence her forever to protect their own dark truths.

Buried Secrets is the first installment in Krissy Baccaro's captivating Mystery Romance Historical Fiction series. If you love dark family secrets, heart-wrenching romance, and atmospheric Italian settings, you'll be spellbound by Baccaro's masterful blend of mystery and passion.
