Her Name Under The Paint

Iris Vale restores surfaces for a living. She knows how to strip back layers, reveal what was hidden, and read the truth beneath damage.

But nothing prepares her for what she finds inside a battered 1967 Triumph Bonneville fuel tank.

Beneath the green enamel is a list of names.
Forty-one children.
Written in her late mother’s unmistakable hand.

At the bottom is the one name Iris has never been able to forget.

Milo Kane inherited his father’s motorcycle shop, a laundering scandal, and a trail of enemies who want old records to stay lost. He knows exactly why Iris was hired to restore the tank—and why the truth inside it could get them both killed.

When federal agents and armed men converge on the shop, Iris and Milo are trapped with the evidence and forced into an uneasy alliance. To survive, they must piece together a decades-old rescue network before the people hunting the list erase the final proof it ever existed.

Some names were buried to protect them.
Some were buried to protect monsters.

And one woman is about to learn that her own name was never lost.
It was hidden.
