What the Water Keeps at Beggars Gulch: A Tanger Novel

He came to Tanger looking for peace. He found Darla Bouchet - and the thing waiting in the dark water beneath Beggars Gulch.After walking away from a hollow city life, John buys a rundown cabin in the North Country woods, high above a limestone creek the locals avoid after dark. The price is too good, the town is too quiet, and everyone seems to know more about the place than they are willing to say.Then he meets Darla.Darla is sharp, guarded, beautiful, and bound to Tanger by more than family duty. Her father is dying, her past is complicated, and her bloodline carries an old burden tied to the water below John's cabin. The town whispers about Jack Bowman, the dead man in the gulch, but the truth is older, darker, and far more dangerous than any ghost story.As John and Darla fall into a love neither of them expected, the thing beneath the limestone begins to wake.Atmospheric, romantic, and quietly haunting, What the Water Keeps at Beggars Gulch is a slow-burn paranormal romance about haunted places, family secrets, inherited grief, and the kind of love strong enough to stand at the edge of darkness and call someone home.
