When Avery Quinn returns to her rural hometown of Gravel Creek, she's not just running from a failed life in the city; she's chasing answers buried in the woods, whispered through the walls of a forgotten orphanage, and etched into the cracked bones of her past.
What she finds instead is Elijah Cross.
Branded a murderer. Feared like folklore. Living alone in the forest at the edge of town. He hasn't spoken in years, and yet, somehow, he becomes her fiercest protector. And her most dangerous temptation.
As Avery uncovers the horrifying secrets of a buried institution and the covert system that still hunts its victims, she and Elijah are pulled into a conspiracy darker than either imagined. Someone is watching. The past is not done with them. And the only way forward is through the ghosts they've spent their lives trying to forget.
But in a town that refuses to remember, survival isn't enough.
They must burn the silence down.
A chilling romantic suspense thriller about trauma, survival, and the dangerous hope of second chances, The Ghost in the Gravel Road is a haunting journey through small-town secrets, forbidden love, and the strength it takes to fight for the truth, even when the truth fights back.
