Some roads don't lead forward. They lead back.
Mara Greene has spent her life learning how to listen to what others ignore-the whispers, the echoes, the stories the past refuses to let go. In Willow's Crossing, that gift has made her the one people turn to when something isn't right.
But this time, the trouble isn't in a house or a church.
It's waiting just outside of town.
An abandoned road, long avoided and rarely spoken of, has begun to stir again. Drivers lose time. Headlights vanish into darkness. And those who return can't always explain what followed them back.
Every story carries the same detail.
A woman dressed in blue.
Standing just off the road.
Watching.
As Mara begins to uncover the truth, she finds herself pulled into a history shaped by fear, sacrifice, and a bargain that should have never been made. What was buried to protect the town is no longer willing to stay buried-and whatever was promised is now ready to be claimed.
With the quiet strength of Grandma Lila, the steady support of Jamal, and a community forced to confront its silence, Mara must face a question more dangerous than any spirit:
What do you do when the past comes back... to collect?
The Bargain Road is Book Four in the Haunts of Willow Crossing series-a layered, atmospheric cozy horror story rooted in community, memory, and the unseen forces that linger when truth is left untold.
For readers who love small-town mysteries, emotional depth, and supernatural suspense grounded in African American culture and storytelling.
