What The Hollow Keeps

Here's a book description ready to paste straight into D2D: A surgeon on the run. A sheriff with a secret. A small town that doesn't let people disappear. When Dr. Nora Callahan's career is destroyed by a powerful family's lies, she drives eleven hours from Chicago and kills her car on a dark Michigan highway — three miles outside a town she picked off a map because no one would think to look for her there. Crimson Hollow is exactly what she needed: small, quiet, and forgettable. It is none of those things. The sheriff who finds her on the side of the road already knows more than he should. The diner owner sees through her borrowed name before the pie plate is cold. And the clinic that takes her in holds a locked cabinet with a fifteen-year-old secret that connects directly to the family that ruined her — a secret Sheriff Gideon Bray has been sitting on for three years, waiting for the courage to do something about it. What the Hollow Keeps is a slow-burn contemporary romance and small-town mystery about two people carrying the same weight from opposite sides of the truth. About what it costs to stay when everything in you has been trained to run. About the particular stubbornness of a town that has been watching its people long enough to know the difference between someone passing through and someone arriving. Nora came to Crimson Hollow to disappear. The Hollow had other plans.
