Common Passions is a slow-burn romantic mystery thriller written by former international diplomat and intelligence analyst Taylor Smith. [1]

The plot chronicles the lives of two sisters, Mallory and Diana Caine. As children in the 1960s, the girls watched their world crumble when their parents were brutally killed in a fiery explosion. The local police department quickly dismissed the incident as a routine drug deal gone bad, leaving the orphaned sisters to be raised by a eccentric preacher. Years later, Mallory successfully builds a career as a popular television talk-show hostess. However, haunted by conflicting, fractured memories of that fateful day, she decides to risk her career to uncover the truth and clear her parents' names. Her investigation draws her into a deadly web of deceit, political manipulation, and a high-stakes game of revenge orchestrated by a powerful, cruel figure connected to her family's past.
