The Bellam Book Club Series
The Bellam Book Club Series is set in the small Southern town of Bellam, Georgia, where front porches hold history and secrets rarely stay buried.
Founding families like the Wests, Whitakers, Mercers, and Bells navigate legacy, loyalty, and love, while Sheriff’s Deputy Jack Lee finds himself drawn into investigations that test both justice and friendship.
With wit, warmth, and a distinctly Southern edge, the series blends charm and suspense into stories where tradition collides with truth—and someone always knows more than they’re saying.
Join the Bellam Book Club as we connect through ten novels centered on the people of Bellam—their loyalties, rivalries, romances, and reckonings.
Nothing ever happened in Bellam, Georgia...
Bellam, Georgia is the kind of town where routines are sacred, histories are inherited, and nothing ever seems to change. Deputy Jack Lee returned home after a career-altering shooting in Atlanta, choosing the quiet backroads of Evans County over city sirens. But when a strange girl in a heavy coat walks into the West family crypt and seemingly vanishes, and local power broker Charles West disappears the very same day, Bellam’s still surface begins to fracture. What first appears to be a handful of minor disturbances—a trespasser, a stolen award, whispered inconsistencies—quickly reveals something deeper and far older than a simple missing-person case.
As Jack digs into the West family legacy and the town’s long memory, he begins to suspect that Bellam’s greatest strength—its loyalty—may also be its greatest danger. In a place where everyone knows everyone, secrets don’t disappear. They settle. And when the past refuses to stay buried, Jack must decide whether he came back to Bellam to heal—or to finally uncover what it has been hiding all along.
