When Clara Davenport returns to her hometown of Deadwood after a decade away, it’s only to settle her estranged father’s affairs. But among the dust and shadows of his abandoned logging cabin, she finds more than memories — she uncovers secrets buried deep within the town’s roots.
As whispers of a long-forgotten disappearance resurface, Clara is drawn into an investigation that intertwines with her own past. Standing in her way is Sheriff Luke Marston — her first love, her first heartbreak, and the only man who ever truly knew her. Together, they must navigate old wounds, dangerous truths, and the sparks of a romance neither thought could be rekindled.
But in Deadwood, secrets have sharp edges. And the closer Clara gets to the truth about her father — and the town itself — the more she realizes that some things were meant to stay hidden **beneath the deadwood**.
