When the Falls Whisper: A Clean and Wholesome, Small-town, Suspense Romance

One photograph.
One secret hidden in the trees.
And one silent protector who just became my fake fiancé.

I was supposed to be capturing nature’s beauty—
Not the kind of secret that could make me a target.
Now, someone was watching, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Elliott Knight wasn’t the type to get involved.
A man who kept to himself, spoke in careful silences, and avoided attachments.
But when he learned what I had seen, he didn’t walk away.
Instead, he came up with a plan—
A fake engagement. A small-town cover story. A reason to stay close.

I told myself it was just pretend.
That the way his presence made me feel safe was all part of the act.
The more time I spent with him, the more I saw past his walls.
I started to wonder if the whispers in the trees weren’t the only thing pulling me closer.
Because behind all that mystery was a man who cared—a man worth loving.

The danger was real.
But so was this feeling growing between us... wasn’t it?



This clean and wholesome romance is a pleasant mix of a quiet love story, drama, and a good splash of mysterious suspense and will keep you turning the pages. Enjoy!
