Encircle is thrilled to announce Kate Flora’s next page-turning thriller, BURN THE DIARIES AND RUN…
Jenny Cates thought her life couldn’t get worse after her boyfriend’s betrayal. But when her mother is attacked, and she discovers the man she thought was her father isn’t, Jenny is thrust into a deadly game. On the run from two ruthless politicians—one who wants her dead, the other who wants to use her—Jenny must rely on her own strength to survive. Armed with her mother’s secret diaries, she’s determined to expose the truth and destroy the campaigns of the men hunting her down.
