"Buried Roots" A Fordwood Novel by Sara Delaney:

Ella thought she knew who she was, growing up in the quiet familiarity of her small hometown. But as the years passed, a gnawing sense of something missing began to settle deep in her bones. When she finally leaves for Fordwood University, determined to carve out a life of her own, she unknowingly steps into a town that has been waiting for her all along.

But Fordwood holds secrets, buried deep beneath its history, and Ella soon realizes she isn’t just an outsider stepping into a new world—she’s part of a past that refuses to stay forgotten. People from the shadows come searching for her. Some will try to claim her. Others will try to silence her. And all the while, the truth about who she is and where she belongs unravels in ways she never could have imagined.

Otto, the town’s quiet guardian, does everything he can to shield her from the ghosts of Fordwood’s past, but time is catching up with him. So he calls in his grandson—Adam, a soldier returning from years of service, unaware of the tangled fate awaiting him. One look at Ella changes everything.

Their connection is slow-burning but undeniable, deepening under the weight of danger that lurks just beyond reach. Jake—obsessive, relentless—thinks Ella belongs to him, and others still may crawl out from the dark, determined to keep her from uncovering the truth.

But Adam isn’t backing down. Protecting her isn’t just a choice—it’s instinct.

As Ella pieces together the fragments of her past, she realizes that some roots were meant to stay buried—but hers are rising to the surface.

And once the truth is revealed, there will be no going back.
