Hello, Readers!

I have Advanced Release Copies (ARCs) available in exchange for an honest review on Amazon and Goodreads. If you enjoy domestic dramas and young adult novels, The Tarnished Son is for you.

Paperbacks (US only) and EPUBs are available. Please email me at elizabethmckennaauthor@hotmail.com and put “ARC of The Tarnished Son” in the Subject line.

The Tarnished Son

“This is a nice, quiet town with good people. Things like that don’t happen around here.”

But they do.

In THE TARNISHED SON, a tourist’s death, an alluring young teacher, a father’s carnal desires, and a stepdaughter’s vendetta ultimately destroy a village dynasty.

The respected Clark family has governed Williams Bay since 1837. On a hot August day, seventeen-year-old Liam causes a tragic boating accident. What happens next—infidelity, drugs, theft, and more—deepens long-hidden cracks in the family’s façade, exposing their secrets and tarnishing their golden image.

Meet the family:

William Sr., the grandfather who rules the family and the village with an iron fist

Hank, the father who lets temptations lead him on a path of self-destruction

Liam, the shining son who gets away with everything

Rose, the stepdaughter who has had enough and pushes the whole house down

Grab some popcorn and watch the destruction unfold in Elizabeth McKenna’s unpredictable family drama!

Read Chapter 1

Note: I write both clean and naughty novels. The Tarnished Son is a naughty one. It contains mild profanity (no F-bombs), drug use, infidelity, and sexually suggestive scenes (nothing graphic).

Praise for The Tarnished Son

“I expected this book to take me a couple days, but I could not put it down…This book is all about conflict—and how each character handles it…Perhaps there are other similar premises, but the setting of the book, the accident on the lake, the family structure, and power stood on their own. This book was unique because of its characters.” ~ USA TODAY bestselling author Maureen A. Miller

“I could not guess where the story was going, and I found the plot to be interesting and dramatic, but also believable.” ~ Lacy Challe, beta reader

“The book caught my attention really quick, and I found myself invested in the story right away.” ~ Kathleen Fossum, beta reader
