Behind every gate, every resident is a target.

Vellamar Estates is the kind of neighborhood people work their whole lives to get into. Perfect lawns. Quiet streets. A homeowners association that promises to keep it that way.

What the residents don’t know is that the HOA is watching. The smoke detectors in their homes hold cameras. In a basement across the community, a man watches twenty-seven homes and learns everyone’s secrets. The dental student living a double life. The football star who can’t stop gambling. The landscaper with money he can’t explain. The family that won’t take down their flag.

Every violation notice is a message. Every fine is a warning. And HOA president Patricia Sterling knows exactly how much each family will pay to keep their worst secret buried.

When a young security guard starts noticing a pattern, and a private investigator is hired to dig into the neighbors, the people running Vellamar Estates show how far they will go to protect what they’ve built. In this neighborhood, the price of a secret can be your life.

A surveillance thriller about privacy, power, and what people will do to keep their secrets. THE HOA: Vellamar Estates is the first book in THE HOA series.
