The Search
(2026)(The fourth book in the Mystery at Clover Ridge Romance series)
A Story by Everlee Whitman
Secrets didn’t stay buried for long, but sometimes they burned their way out instead.
Tessa Burke knows how quickly flames can steal what matters. After walking through her own losses, she has built a career out of reading burn patterns and sifting through ruin with steady hands and guarded faith. Called to investigate a string of fires threatening Clover Ridge’s historic district, she expects charred beams and smoke-stained walls—not the haunting sense that something sacred is trying to break through the ashes.
Jack Donovan, long rooted in the town through his family’s construction firm, knows every beam and brick of Clover Ridge. But when the fires expose blueprints to forgotten tunnels winding beneath the old streets, he is confronted with a history he was never told—a history that may implicate the very people he trusted. Working alongside Tessa, Jack finds himself drawn not only into the mystery but into the quiet strength behind her guarded heart. As danger closes in and the truth crawls from the depths, their search through darkness becomes a journey toward hope, healing, and a refining fire only God can kindle.
Set against the historic charm of Michigan’s north woods, The Mystery at Clover Ridge series invites readers into a world shaped by stained glass, cobblestone streets, and the lingering hymns of Irish settlers whose faith still anchors the town. Beneath the warm glow of bakery ovens and the toll of the church bell, long-hidden ledgers, sealed letters, and half-buried secrets rise to the surface—reminding Clover Ridge that grace is the true treasure woven through every generation.
Guided by the words of Proverbs 25:2 (NIV), ‘It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings,’ each story follows men and women who discover that searching for truth often reveals the deeper work God is doing within their own hearts. In Clover Ridge, mysteries may be buried, but they are never lost to the One who brings light from darkness and beauty from the ruins.
