Miranda Sterling built a multi-million-dollar empire teaching women how to reclaim their power, leave what no longer serves them, and design lives of bold authenticity.
Her book was a bestseller.
Her waiting list was two years long.
Her certainty was unshakable.
Until the weekend it wasn't.
Seeking three days of silence at an exclusive mountain retreat in the Pocono Mountains, Miranda plans to unplug from the world she created. But solitude has a way of making room for ghosts.
A former client confronts her in the restaurant.
Another appears during a massage - or does she?
Threatening messages begin to arrive.
And then the truth surfaces:
Some of the women she coached believe she ruined their lives.
As paranoia tightens its grip, Miranda is forced into a psychological reckoning deep in the forest - one that blurs the line between revenge and justice. Is she being stalked by disgruntled clients? Is she unraveling under the weight of her own influence? Or has the brand she built on certainty finally collapsed beneath its contradictions?
The Retreat is a gripping psychological thriller about power, influence, accountability, and the dangerous allure of having all the answers.
It asks the question no one wants to face:
What happens when the expert becomes the one under examination?
Perfect for readers who love character-driven suspense with moral complexity and emotional depth, this novel explores the shadow side of the self-help industry and the cost of selling certainty in an uncertain world.
Because sometimes the most terrifying place to be...
...is alone with the truth.
