Ashwood Hollow

Ashwood Hollowby Brinda PhokeerdassTen years ago, Eva Merrick fled the town of Ashwood, leaving behind a family scandal that destroyed her father's legacy and nearly broke her. Now, reluctantly drawn back to settle her late mother's affairs, Eva finds a town that hasn't forgotten-or forgiven. The Ashfords, Ashwood's most powerful family, still control everything: the land, the politics, the whispered truths.
But when Eva discovers a hidden file in her grandmother's abandoned home-one that questions the official story of her father's downfall-old wounds reopen, and darker secrets begin to surface. As she digs deeper into her family's past, a chilling warning appears on her windshield: Stop digging. Leave Ashwood. But Eva refuses to be silenced. Not by veiled threats, and not by Colt Ashford-the quiet, complicated man whose loyalty may be as divided as her heart.
In a town where memory is weaponized and silence protects the powerful, Eva must decide how far she's willing to go to uncover the truth-and what it will cost her to bring the past into the light. Ashwood Hollow is a haunting tale of betrayal, buried secrets, and the fight to reclaim one's name in a town that never forgets.
