Casey Cort thought she knew her father.
Peter Cort built a quiet life in Cleveland: a long marriage, a steady career, a daughter he adores. But when a phone call from Germany reaches him, the past he buried for more than sixty years refuses to stay buried.
As a child in Nazi-occupied Poland, Peter was taken from his family, stripped of his identity, and sent to Germany to be raised as someone else. Now someone from the family he lost may still be looking for him.
Casey, Peter, and Casey’s best friend Lulu cross the Atlantic in search of answers. But every discovery raises another question about the father Casey thought she knew—and forces Peter to confront memories he has spent a lifetime trying to forget.
Meanwhile, Lulu is confronting a secret of her own. Her relationship with a married man is no longer safely hidden, and what once felt like love is beginning to look very different.
For Casey, the journey becomes about more than finding the truth. It’s about what we inherit, what we bury, and whether finding the people we’ve lost can ever restore what was taken.
Reunited is Book 7 in the Casey Cort legal thriller series, a story of family secrets, stolen identity, and the long reach of the past.
