The White Umbrella (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798233159282)

Some houses keep secrets. Some wait for the right people to uncover them.

When Lacey returns to her childhood hometown, she expects to help an elderly family friend after part of a historic mansion collapses. Instead, she is drawn back into the orbit of Garrett Mahoney-the boy she once loved, now an engaged man with a life that no longer seems to have room for her.

As the house begins to reveal long-buried mysteries, an old painting, a hidden message, and a forgotten promise force them to question everything they believed about their past. Was their childhood friendship merely coincidence, or had someone quietly shaped their lives toward one another all along?

Set against the haunting beauty of a century-old estate, The White Umbrella is a modern gothic novella about memory, family, destiny, and the choices that define us. Blending quiet romance with mystery and atmospheric suspense, it explores how the past continues to echo long after we believe we've left it behind.
