The Hush
By John Hart
St. Martin’s Press

Home is a special place to all of us. A place we run to for comfort. A place we seek out for balance. But Johnny Merrimon’s home, Hush Arbor, is a place he is willing to sacrifice his life for. In the family for hundreds of years, the thousands of acres of land hold their own secrets, and it is something others are willing to pay millions for, while others try to keep as far away as possible. Some call the land haunted, Merrimon sees it as a magical oasis, drawing his senses to the forefront. But how much will he give to keep it in the family? (February 2018)
