A forgotten cottage on the edge of an Iowa town promises just that, with wild grass whispering in the wind, a porch swing sighing in the stillness, and a place where she can finally breathe again. But some houses do not stay silent. And some secrets refuse to be buried. Charlie has always seen what others deny. The spirits that linger. The echoes of choices long past. It is a gift her mother once called a curse, and one Charlie tried to hide behind sunglasses and silence. Until now. Because this house has been waiting for her. Deputy Storm Eastwood has spent five years haunted by his sister’s disappearance, by questions no badge could answer. When Charlie arrives in Fairhaven, fierce-eyed and guarded, he cannot decide if she is the key to his family’s secrets or just another ghost he cannot let go. Drawn together by forces neither can explain, Charlie and Storm must uncover the truth about the cottage, about Ashley Eastwood, and about themselves. The deeper they search, the louder the house whispers. What is hidden in the walls could tear them apart, or it could bind them forever. Haunted By Truth is a gothic small-town romance threaded with mystery, longing, and the kind of love that does not ask you to hide who you are. It dares you to be seen. This is Part One of Charlie and Storm’s story. Originally released in episodes on Kindle Vella, now collected in novel form. Continue the journey in Part Two, coming soon. less
