Book One · The Graves Series
Graves Before Dawn
A dark romantic thriller about what surfaces in West Texas when the past has been buried badly.
The premise
West Texas keeps its dead close.
When a body appears where no body should be, Weston Graves has every reason to keep Harper at a distance. Harper needs the truth more than she needs to be protected, and Weston is the first man in town who sees her clearly enough to be dangerous.
He is quiet, watchful, and built from the kind of past people do not ask about. She is curious, stubborn, and unwilling to let the wrong story stand. The closer they get to Ghost Well, the harder it becomes to tell desire from danger.

The characters
Weston and Harper
Weston Graves is a man of few words and no wasted movement. He is the most dangerous person in the room, and the only one who cannot look away from her.
Harper is smart enough to see the warning signs and brave enough to ask what Weston is protecting, even when the answer might ruin them both.
They are not a rescue fantasy. The attraction is real because neither of them is easy to save, and neither wants to be managed.
