In the heart of the South, secrets and betrayals are as overgrown as the lush plantation gardens…

Sara, seeking refuge from a shadowy past, finds herself on the threshold of Becksley plantation—a place that promises concealment among its sprawling, secretive grounds.

When Sue, owner of the small tavern on the plantation grounds, offers Sara not only a place to stay but a chance to own the business, Sara sees her first thread of hope.

As Sara steps into her new role, she becomes immersed in the social dynamics of plantation life. Every day becomes a balancing act between running her business and keeping the secrets of her past buried.

Faced with the allure of a respectable new life as a business owner and the fear that her past will catch up to her, Sara wrestles with the choice of fully adopting her new identity or fleeing again when the truth threatens to surface.

Plantation Underworld echoes Nicola Sanders’s Don’t Let Her Stay and Ramona Haggins’ The Secret Between Them, weaving a tale of gripping suspense around a woman's struggle to reinvent herself. Set against the rich, atmospheric backdrop of Southern high society, this novel examines whether one can ever truly escape a haunted past.
