Desperate Girls

The system was built to protect them. Now, it’s the very thing destroying them.

Jessie Logan created a fragile sanctuary... a therapy group for girls who aged out of foster care. It's a circle of scuffed floors and mismatched chairs where secrets can finally be spoken. But when a new member, Devon, calls from a motel room bleeding after an illegal procedure, that sanctuary is ripped wide open. What Jessie uncovers leads to something far worse: underground clinics, anonymous threats, and an adoption agency that thrives by keeping vulnerable girls silent.

As the precinct scrambles for leads, Jessie hunts for her own. She stakes out motels, follows dead-end trails, and traces the steps of the girls who depend on her protection. The danger spikes when her niece disappears.

Detective Lance Mason wants justice that sticks... clean, ordered, and impossible to shake apart. Jessie wants to tear the whole thing open to protect the girls, even if it means letting the pieces fall by the wayside. And someone out there is ready to stop them both.

For fans of emotionally driven stories, Desperate Girls unveils the heartbreaking truth behind the crimes, revealing the human stories that demand to be heard.
