Daughter of the Lost

The Porn Star’s Daughter Book 2

by Kay Stephens

Genre: New Adult College Romance 

When the freshman party ends, the sophomore hangover hits.

Trinity Tachel has no use for society's rules. Not after the New Orleans police failed to investigate the murder of her sex-worker mother. Not after she was abandoned to the Louisiana foster care system as a child. And certainly not after fighting through freshman year to prove herself worthy of a spot at the prestigious Filton University.

Trinity is overjoyed when she's invited to spend the summer in the Los Angeles mansion of retired porn star Missy Mariola. Escape the daily struggle to survive as a New Orleans college student? Yes please. Shock proper society by openly embracing an adult film star? Even better.

But when Trinity returns to New Orleans for her sophomore year, she's an unrecognizable version of herself.

Missy Mariola has taken over Trinity's life. Missy doesn't want Trinity to work, makes all the rules-and even chooses Trinity's housemates. Trinity finds herself living with people she despises, including a hot New Orleans cop who has a frustrating habit of showing up during her worst moments.

Trinity has to decide if she wants to remain the abandoned child of her past or embrace a future with people who love her.

Daughter of the Lost is a roller-coaster journey of self-exploration and finding family-even among your mortal enemies.

BACK STORY – BAD BUGS

Timothy Freriks

Several decades ago, when I was just starting out in my first career, real estate, I hired a man whose full name I’d rather not share. I’ll call him Robert. In those days, researching someone’s background was not easy; I didn’t think to consult the police department. He had the right attitude and history (I thought), was charismatic, seemed eager to learn and perform, and seemed trustworthy.

Robert’s version of his past experience, I would find, was total fiction. It didn’t matter at the time because he did have a considerable ability to gain the trust of prospective tenants.

For two years, we worked together. Although quirks—mainly of a sexual conquest nature—popped up, I ignored them. He appeared to be as normal as anyone else.

Then, he was gone for a month. When he came back, he was different, odd, and distracted. Coincidentally, or so I thought, a murder case was under investigation in Cleveland. I don’t know how it came about, but we got to talking about what it felt like to kill someone. Robert brightened oddly and became engaged. He then focused on how he would kill someone—and why.

To him, killing someone who, in his opinion, deserved death was an ‘act of love for the community’. To him, he was justified to believe that philosophy and act on it. Again, in his words: ‘A murderer might be called insane, but in his mind, he’s normal. Weird, right?’. The clear inference was that taking the life of an evil person was honorable and justified, and it was okay even though most people wouldn’t understand that.

I became quite disturbed, obviously. My partner and I decided to fire him, but we were afraid to do so. It didn’t matter: shortly after that, he was arrested for the murder I referenced above. And he was linked to another murder a year before we met.

He was found innocent by reason of insanity. The last I heard, he was still in a mental institution. But I never forgot—and never will forget—his chilling words. I have always wondered what being inside his mind must have been like.

You Are What You Seek.

Gabriel McKnight, a decorated former U.S. Navy SEAL and bestselling author, sees his perfect life come unraveled when he’s named the prime suspect in a murder case after his twin brother vanishes without a trace. Now on the run from the law, Gabriel embarks on a desperate worldwide quest to clear his name and uncover his brother’s fate.

His only ally is Noor Rahman, the scion of a once-powerful Iranian dynasty whose past intertwines with a mysterious book of Rumi’s poems left behind by her deceased parents. Together, Gabriel and Noor decipher cryptic passages suggesting a link between the historic murders of Noor’s family and his brother’s disappearance. From the back alleys of Washington, D.C., to the bustling streets of Paris, and the vibrant vistas of Tehran, they navigate a labyrinth of danger and deception leading them inexorably to Rumi’s mystical resting place in Turkey.

But discovery comes with a perilous cost. With every revelation, Gabriel and Noor inch that much closer to unlocking the sinister truth behind their parallel destinies. Can they outwit their unseen foes and decode the final mysteries before they themselves become the final casualties in this deadly game?

I was born to a diplomat and housewife in Tehran-Iran then whisked across the globe to whatever country my parents had been assigned to. Raised to appreciate various cultures, landscapes, languages, and viewpoints, my life was one grand adventure until a revolution took place in my country and turned our lives upside down. Between then and the age of eighteen I had experienced both the joy, freedom, and magic our world offers as well as wars, deprivation, and oppression. My undergraduate studies were in the Middle East and my post graduate studies were at the Sorbonne University in Paris, France.

So, when did I become a writer? Books had always been my greatest friends, teachers, refuge, and the inspiration to forge my own future. In college I realized I wanted to write engaging mysteries and thrillers. At the same time, I wanted to give readers more than a story. I wanted to share the rich beauty of Persian literature as well as that of other cultures. For that I embarked on a twenty-two-year journey, traveling to various countries, and experiencing life while establishing a successful career. Gabriel McKnight and his first story had been on my mind for several years yet it wasn’t until my mid-forties that I picked up the proverbial pen. The time had come to share my stories.

The next step was making my dream come true. I queried several agents and one glorious day in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic my wonderful literary agent reached out to me with an offer for representation. She took my story to publishers and before I knew it, we had a publishing contract –and here we are.

Today, I live in Oklahoma City, USA with my family and two dogs. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s the power of words. Words can heal, teach, entertain, inspire, and evoke change. I hope you enjoy Gabriel’s adventures as much as I enjoyed writing them.
