KEEP MY SECRETS. KEEP ME SECRET.
Fifteen years ago, Kyra Arnold vanished—no national headlines, no television coverage, only a grieving mother who refused to give up hope. Everyone else moved on, including Joel Smith.
Now a disillusioned editor for a struggling online newspaper, Joel is stunned to spot Kyra on a rainy London street—alive, fragile, and begging him not to expose her. She has secrets. Perhaps, dangerous ones. And those secrets, she says, he must protect at all costs.
Joel swore to leave reporting behind, but old instincts die hard. As he digs into the mystery of Kyra’s disappearance, he’s pulled into a tangle of toxic small-town loyalties, buried truths, and shattered lives. What he finds could heal or destroy them both.
Torn between keeping Kyra’s confidence and uncovering the truth, Joel faces the ultimate ethical dilemma—and a second chance at a future neither of them believed possible.
To See Those Eyes Again is a gripping emotional suspense about lost trust, buried trauma, and the hope of redemption. Can two people haunted by their past find the courage to build something real together?
Author: Kenny Rials
Kenny Rials grew up in the quiet countryside of Louisiana, but his dreams were anything but small. After graduating university, he bolted to New York City, determined to make his mark as a writer, stage actor, and singer. He lit up stages in hit musicals like Phantom of the Opera, Grease, and They’re Playing Our Song, before a leap across the Atlantic took him to London, where he found new creative fire.
There, Kenny released his EP Time Doesn’t Stand Still and full-length album Second Chances—both earning Billboard recognition. But it was his love for songwriting that opened the door to something deeper: storytelling. That spark gave life to his debut novel, To See Those Eyes Again, born from a haunting moment in London’s bustling Kings Cross Station. Surrounded by strangers, he imagined a twist of fate—what if, in the middle of all this anonymity, you spotted someone from your past? Someone long gone, even thought to be missing? And what if that chance encounter unraveled everything?
When he’s not writing or performing, Kenny is chasing inspiration—and his young twins, Izzie and Grayson.
To See Those Eyes Again is Kenny's romantic - suspense novel, which is now available on Amazon, Amazon Kindle, and participating bookstores.
