Not yet published
Expected 20 Mar 26Gayle Philips thought running was the answer.
She didn’t want to marry James Lawson, the son of the town’s most influential family, so she fled with Jed, the Lawsons’ loyal farmhand.
But freedom came at a steep price. Gayle lost her family. She lost her respect. She broke promises to herself, to her daughter, to anyone who had ever dared to love her.
Now the past is clawing its way the regret, the decades of addiction, the lies, the secrets. They are all coming for her. The question is, can Gayle finally face them? Or will she stand by and watch the last of her world burn?
This is a bonus origin story from The Girl Once Known trilogy. It can be enjoyed as a standalone and contains minimal spoilers for the main series.
