Type and Cross

by Staci Troilo

Blood defines family. Blood reveals betrayal.

Heartbreaking, guttural, and uncomfortably close to home, award-winning author Staci Troilo brings to life the riveting story of a marriage on the rocks and a family in crisis.

Dr. Royce Keller is no stranger to blood. As a world-class physician and Chief of Emergency Medicine at Oakland Regional Hospital in Cathedral Lake, it’s his job. More than that, it’s his calling. To Royce, blood is the very essence of life—what ties his family, his career, and his world together... right up until he learns everything he believes is wrong.

Vanessa Keller has a secret she’s kept hidden for almost two decades. It’s her burden, her cross to bear. To Vanessa, the truth is a choice—something best forgotten for the greater good of her husband, their children, and their future together... right up until the day it comes back to haunt her.

A gripping, haunting tale of dysfunction, betrayal, heroism, grief, and loss, Staci Troilo’s Type and Cross is the story of one family’s tortuous journey from devastation to redemption.

About the Author

Staci Troilo grew up in Western Pennsylvania writing stories and poetry in her free time, so it was no surprise that she studied writing in college. After receiving creative and professional writing degrees from Carnegie Mellon University, she went on to get her Master’s Degree in Professional Writing, and she worked in corporate communications until she had her children. When they had grown, she went on to become a writing professor, and now she is a freelance writer and editor living in Arkansas with her husband, son, daughter, and two dogs.

Staci is a multi-genre author and an Amazon bestseller. Her fiction combines dark, dangerous heroes and strong, capable heroines woven together into a contemporary tapestry of tantalizing romance. Compelling villains and gripping mysteries engage the reader from page one of her novels and her short stories feature ordinary characters conquering the odds in extraordinary situations.

When she isn’t reading or writing, she’s probably playing with her dogs, relaxing poolside, or working in the kitchen. She loves to cook and bake and is an award-winning recipe developer.
