Dani Jones thought surviving her seventeenth year of teaching would be her biggest challenge before summer vacation. But when a student’s uncle confronts her after class and then disappears, everything changes. Days later, during a Chesapeake Bay cleanup, Dani discovers his body hidden in the marsh. Suddenly, she is drawn into a dangerous mystery that could unravel her quiet coastal town as she embarks on a pilgrimage worthy of Chaucer.

Gavin Larkhurst, a radio newsman with a protective streak, wants to keep Dani safe from the dangers of arson, greed, and long-buried lies. But the closer she gets to the truth, the harder he falls, torn between letting her face peril and risking his heart.

Set in June 1997 Virginia Beach, A Pilgrimage of Whispered Truths blends steamy romance with a twisting mystery, where every secret threatens to surface.
