It Takes a Village

By Alyssa Cole
It Takes a Village by Alyssa Cole digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

New York Times bestselling author Alyssa Cole is back with another chilling thriller, a follow up to her mega hit When No One is Watching.

Eboni Goodman is stuck on the underemployment merry-go-round, when she lands a position at Helping Hand Tech, a non-profit organization with the motto: “A helping hand at a second chance.”

Eboni settles into her role as administrator of an experimental tiny-home village aimed at reducing homelessness and prison recidivism. But hostility from the surrounding neighborhood is impossible to ignore, especially once the late-night incidents begin.

The only person she can confide in is Michael, Eboni’s de facto assistant. Michael is brooding, handsome, and good with this hands, but Eboni isn’t willing to risk her credibility or her steady paycheck for a man, even if she just knows he’d make her toes curl in new and exciting ways.

As protests intensify and accidents mount, Eboni digs into the history of the land beneath the village and begins to see what Helping Hand Tech is trying to hide. As the organization’s philanthropic facade cracks, the truth behind her dream job turns far more dangerous than she imagined.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
