Whispers in Ashgrove
Book 1 of The Ashgrove Files
When Nora Hale returns to Ashgrove, she expects old memories, unanswered questions, and the quiet ache of a past she never fully escaped.
What she finds instead is a letter that should not exist, a warning tied to someone long dead, and a presence that seems to know exactly what she has lost.
As buried history begins to surface, Nora is drawn into the mystery of Ashgrove House, an orphanage fire the town never truly left behind, and Elias Mercer, a man with secrets of his own.
A gothic paranormal romance about old letters, haunted rooms, buried grief, slow-burn attraction, and a love story shaped by the dead.
