How Family Reunions Began
Lynette Eason, a South Carolina native and bestselling author, crafted Family Reunions as part of her extensive portfolio of inspirational romantic suspense. A member of American Christian Fiction Writers and Romance Writers of America, Eason drew on her love for complex characters and faith-driven narratives to create this series. Published under Harlequin’s Love Inspired Suspense line, Family Reunions reflects Eason’s knack for balancing heart-pounding action with tender romance, inspired by her desire to share stories that uplift and entertain.
The Heart of Family Reunions
The series kicks off with Hide and Seek, where Erica James, a skip tracer, relentlessly searches for her kidnapped daughter, Molly. Teaming up with private investigator Max Powell, whose sister is also missing, Erica navigates danger and budding romance. The story’s fast-paced suspense and clean love story set the tone for the series. In Christmas Cover-Up, Detective Katie Randall seeks her sister, kidnapped 14 years ago, enlisting former FBI agent Jordan Grey. Their investigation, laced with personal guilt and holiday vibes, delivers action and emotional depth.
Her Stolen Past, the series’ gripping finale, follows hospice nurse Sonya Daniels, who uncovers a kidnapped baby’s birth certificate in her late mother’s belongings. With detective Brandon Hayes, Sonya faces life-threatening obstacles to unravel the truth. Across these tales, Eason explores themes of faith, forgiveness, and family bonds, set against the backdrop of suspenseful mysteries. Her clean romance and non-preachy Christian elements make the series accessible and engaging, with complex plots that tie together seamlessly.
