Beneath The Willow

When Averie Langford returns home, she doesn’t expect to uncover a buried scandal that could destroy her family’s legacy—or reignite a forbidden love she was never supposed to touch. Years ago, her grandmother was quietly erased from their family’s pristine history. Now, whispers of locked tapes, hidden letters, and a forbidden romance resurface, and Averie finds herself tangled in a legacy of lies. The only person willing to help her expose the truth? Wes Marrow—the boy from the wrong side of town, and the one kiss she never forgot. But digging up the past comes at a cost. As secrets unravel and passion reignites, Averie must choose between protecting the name she was born into… or fighting for the truth—and the love—that could set her free. Some love stories are meant to be hidden. This one refuses to stay buried.
