The Encore (Wellington Series | Book Five) by Sonja Tanette Smith
They thought the curtain had closed on their story.
But love — and family — always demands an encore.
When independent filmmaker Malcolm Wellington sets out to bring his parents’ legendary love story to the big screen, it feels like a full-circle moment… a tribute to everything they’ve survived.
But casting the perfect Sydni and Micah proves to be more than a creative decision.
It’s a collision.
Because art has a way of uncovering what life tried to bury.
As filming begins, long-hidden truths begin to surface — not just from the past Sydni and Micah lived… but from a past someone else has rewritten.
A past built on a lie.
And as the lines between story and reality begin to blur, one question lingers beneath it all:
What happens when the version of the truth you’ve been living… isn’t the truth at all?
What was meant to honor a love story becomes something far more dangerous — an unraveling no one saw coming.
Because some stories don’t end…
they echo.
“Their love, that reunion, that twist? I’m still sitting here like… wow.”
— M. Turner
