The Roadkill Lottery

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

The town knows the rules of the lottery. Dylan doesn't even know there's a game.

Dylan didn’t expect a call about the birth father he’d never known. When the man dies in a forgotten Florida town, he heads to Hargrove to settle the affairs of a ghost from his past.

The place looks ordinary from the highway, but nothing feels right once he arrives. Locals stare too long. Strangers know his name. The town motto, Florida’s Fortune Earned, hangs over everything like a warning.

As Dylan digs into the life he was never meant to know, he finds a community built on secrets, debts, and a loyalty that turns dangerous fast. Hargrove didn’t just forget his father. It’s been waiting for him.

Some inheritances offer a future. Others pull you under. In Hargrove, every fortune has a cost.
