Her Quiet Detective

Lila Vance came back to Hartsville to sell her grandmother's house and leave. She found three men already inside her life. Theo, the detective who fixed the porch and never sent a bill. Marsh, the librarian cataloging a hundred years of town records. Gil, the handyman who kept the heat on for two years because it seemed wrong not to. Buried in her grandmother's papers is the truth about a girl who vanished in 1968, and three generations of Hartsville agreed not to say it. When the girl's brother comes home to die, Lila and the three men open the file the town buried. Quiet, warm, and stubborn. Some houses you don't sell. Some towns you make talk.
